The last couple of days Iāve been working on the main dahlia bed! They were extremely bushy, which can cause disease from lack of air flow. So I cleared all the extra limbs away and now they can breathe!
Iām finding that growing a flower, like a dahlia, is ALOT of work but so far itās been SO good for my soul!
Iāve had a garden for the last 8 years and Iāve never been this excited to get outside and check on my ābabiesā before! Something new is blooming everyday and Iām diligently taking notes so I know what I want to grow next year, what I want to propagate over winter and what wonāt make the cut.
With being a natural redhead, Iāve always avoided being outside in the direct sun as much as possible but this year, Iām not minding it! The extra Vitamin D has been SO good for me!
I also included a bunch of new blooms from the last couple of days! Too many to name but they are all gorgeous! The pictures donāt do the colors justice!!!
