Mine haven't started flowering yet - obviously success at dahlia growing isn't genetic!HappyMouffetardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157145094611234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786255027898902478.post-10122881752290624092008-08-23T15:16:00.000+01:002008-08-23T15:16:00.000+01:00Awesome photograph...dahlias really are nice.

I have never seen such beauties plants - flowers the size of saucers. My favourites are the cactus types. Gaudy and a bit rough round teh edges.

Not sure if they will like the cold and damp of a Cumbrian winter but like everything else at Bag End, they will survive or not! <BR/><BR/>Magazines - just started buying The English Garden, far less like a comic than most of the monthlies and not as intimidating as the RHS publication. Here you go: http://www.theenglishgarden.co.uk/ no affiliation, etc. Think there is a "first three isues for a fiver" offer going at present.BilboWagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913801147278606148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786255027898902478.post-8015826645608527462008-08-19T12:43:00.000+01:002008-08-19T12:43:00.000+01:00There's trends in gardening?

We're a bit further south than London so should be ok.<BR/><BR/>Schmut - that's one of the gardening mags I buy, when I'm buying them.
