Still waiting for them to come up (late planting season here this year).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855559240091587971.post-28501593122274230282015-06-12T10:19:21.372-04:002015-06-12T10:19:21.372-04:00I love mystery plants.

I have a climbing rose in my yard that was one of those free ones they send. To this day it is one of the most beautiful and hardy in my yard!cindy hattersley designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147135323683353754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855559240091587971.post-42498772431753851142015-06-10T16:46:56.620-04:002015-06-10T16:46:56.620-04:00Your dahlias are beautiful! My faves are peonies,...Your dahlias are beautiful! My faves are peonies, which are in full bloom right now. Mind you, they don't get much mileage, especially when it rains. You're far better off with dahlias! <br /><br />Dahlias don't overwinter here, unless you dig up the bulbs and replant in spring. That's too high maintenance for me at this point. Maybe during retirement, so that'll have to wait!<br /><br />I've got a lot of herbs going, garlic bulbs too, and Eric planted his potatoes, so we can make fries in the fall. That sums things up.<br /><br />In the fields, we have soy beans this year, and they're growing by leaps and bounds. We've had a good mix of warmth, sun and rain lately. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it keeps up.<br /><br />Your hydrangea looks like it's establishing itself well. With all those pine needles, you should end up with blue flowers when it blooms.<br /><br />I think your lovely house could use a row of hollyhocks right behind your dahlias!<br /><br />Enjoy your beautiful flowers!Shim Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135920589923492047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855559240091587971.post-45541156594248933752015-06-09T20:49:28.274-04:002015-06-09T20:49:28.274-04:00Oh, I love dahlias too!

I've tried a few different strategies with food but they all seem to do the same thing. I do think water (enough of it!) is the critical element for these plants. That color is just fabulous!!!Libby https://www.blogger.com/profile/11556491482494737313noreply@blogger.com
