My dahlia tubers are not doing anything

Posted: 18/05/2013 at 17:14

Don't give up Lilly3, I really thought mine would not do anything but they are just coming up, maybe it is too cold for them to come up yet.  Hopefully it will warm up soon.

I have James Galway which is a David Austin shrub/climber.  It grows to about 5ft which they say is suitable as a small climber.  It has a wonderful scent and has never suffered with any disease.

Hi Blairs  I planted them a couple of inches deep - is that deep enough or too deep?  I have been keeping them just damp and yes the tubers are solid.

I overwintered my dahlia tubers in the garage - I planted them in compost around mid March (same time as Monty Don).  On GW last week he took cuttings from his ones but mine have not done anything at all.  Nothing is coming through at all

Does anyone know what could be the problem and any tips on what to do next ?

Morrisons Tulips

Posted: 02/05/2013 at 12:18

I bought packs of tulips from Morrisons last autumn for about a £1 for a  pack of 10.  Was not sure what to expect when they bloomed.  I can say they are absolutely beautiful.  I bought a cream with pale green edge and a dark mauve and they are together in a pot and look stunning 

Would recommend them and will be stocking up on more this year.  Well done Morrisons, a real bargain.
