Dahlia's My summer color spot.

DAHLIA'S my summer color spot.

4/18/2017

Sometimes here in Oregon, you have to ignore the rain, until you get blessed with a sunny weekend. Make the most of the pleasant days and start thinking about summer color. Here in Oregon, the sun beckons you outdoors. Now, who knows when she will shine again. At least in the Pacific Northwest. Don's working on the burn pile, taking care of falls debris, with only 12 burn days left for the season.

Ta do list:

Dahlia Tuber's
Snail Bait
A pair of garden gloves, mine have a hole in the finger!
just about warm enough to spray those weeds.
Round up or
Organic Homemade Weed Killer (YouTube below)

Tomato cages support the voluptuous blooms and will be covered up with lush leaf growth. Stake during planting to prevent injuring the tuber's.
They prefer your garden soil instead of potting soil
4-6 inches deep.

Dahlia's are an easy, generous, splash of color for your summer/fall garden. They are a favorite cut flower that I enjoy arranging for beautiful tables. You have to be a bit of a visionary to plant tubers, seeds and bulbs, thinking ahead of schedule. Fill your sunny beds, flower pots now for a big showing in the summer and fall.

Oh, just reminding myself I have a hole in my garden gloves. Time for a new pair. And remember as always. SNAIL BAIT!!!
Happy Gardening
