Waiting Patiently

Post by lazygardner »

All these poor dahlias are waiting patiently for me to have time to put them in the ground:

Some are really starting to grow:

At least they are all in pots and will grow just fine.
One time I left some bulbs in a paper bags and they dried up to nothing.

Looks somewhat like my hostas in pots in the drive. :lol: :lol:

I finally figured out where each one is going to be planted...
... if they get planted :eek: Do you think this group will have enough room? There is a clematis President behind the group, spring bulbs on the right side of the group, a sad looking clematis Dr Ruppel on the left and grass (sortof) in front of the group.

I only have 3 sets of dahlias, so I am no expert, but..

I think that looks just fine. They are not that bushy and you will have to dig them in the Fall.

:lol: Oh Lucy Goosey, it is time to get to planting!! Of course, you won't be snowed on as soon as I will, so you have more time to waste. (Have you ever noticed the less time you have the more you get accomplished?)

It is nice outside now, so I am hoping to get out there and get those flowers in the ground. I'm going to Hallson's Sunday and then I will be terrribly behind in my planting, so I need to get as much in the ground as I can now! I'll be sure to post pics when they bloom. I sure hope they aren't going to be too close together. We will see! Here's hoping for good planting weather this weekend for Lucy and for us all! :D
