CONGRATULATIONS TO JESSICA MELL! YOU'VE WON THE SANDIA REGAL CUTTING 💜💜

******************************

It's been a whole week without a giveaway! 😂

This is a cool one! Sometimes broken plants end up being a blessing because they produce an abundance of cuttings. I have quite a few Sandia Regal cuttings growing and would love to share one!

I can't wait to see this beauty bloom. I saw her at the Vancouver Dahlia Show last summer, and she was absolutely stunning. These leaf cuttings are coming along nicely and should be safe to ship, provided your temperatures aren't too high.

To enter, you must follow my page. I'd love to see a comment...either your favorite thing some sellers do or your least favorite thing some sellers do. This is super informative for me...please no business names. I'll draw a name in the next couple of days. Good luck!

I am in love with this one 😍

I hear people say quite frequently that the down side to using grow bags is that they dry out too fast. It doesn't have to be that way! My husband saw these at a local nursery and stole the idea from them for our dahlias. These stakes have a channel in them that directs the water from the hose down to the tip of the stake. I push the stake into the bag somewhat close to the roots...not too close, I've learned, because the tubers like to wrap around it 😂 I missed this step when I provided links to our sprinkler setup last year.

Everything is marked down to $5 with a minimum order of $25!

I still have some fun stuff to add as soon as I finish planting...hopefully in the next couple of days.

**Finished for now. More later! Whoever got DL's The Special and Araluen Leatrice...nice job! I will combine shipping for anything ordered this weekend

I believe Luna is protesting the level of neglect she’s been enduring while I spend every evening shipping orders after work. No time for love and adoration (or brushing!) 😂

I shared this originally in January of 2025. I'm not sure if the links all still work...I'll double-check those.

We added an additional item to the setup that helps tremendously in keeping the bags from ever drying out. My husband saw these barbed stakes being used at one of our local nurseries. We bought these and have attached them to the line going into each grow bag. These stakes direct the water from the hose to the bottom of the stake, into the middle/bottom of the grow bag. I'm hoping to put a reel together to actually show the assembly process. It's not hard at all!

I recently posted a pic of our grow bag setup and had several requests for information on how we set up our irrigation. I thought I would post it here for anyone who is interested. It really is a very simple setup.

This sounds like a lot, but I did this by myself in my garden. My husband ran it for the dahlias. I’ll list a link for the items but you wouldn’t have to get them at the store the links take you to. It’s just showing you what we used.

The hose that we use is ½ inch tubing.

You run this the full length of where your bags are. You can run two rows fairly close together like in the picture I shared.

This clamp goes on the end of the ½ hose, wherever it ends (the opposite end from the spigot)

The drip tubing is 1/8” and it is what attaches to the main line.

t attaches to the main lines with these buttons

We use about a 2 foot length of the 1/8” hose from the main line to the bags. At the end going into the bag, we used the drip stakes so the roots of the plants get watered without soaking the tubers:

At the water spigot, we have a timer:

Then a backflow preventer

Then a pressure regulator

Finally, there is a fitting that attaches the end of the main hose line to the pressure regulator:

This tool is a Godsend for cutting the hose and for punching holes in the main line to insert the button.

For fertilizing, look up EZ-Flo. It’s awesome!

Hope this helps.
