They have arrived!

My tubers arrived safe and sound! They all looked wonderful and healthy. I was not able to plant them right away, we have been having beautiful sunny days, but cold, frozen nights. Not Dahlia friendly.

Fast forward a couple weeks.....

It is now time to plant! The weather is perfect and no freezing temperatures are in the forecast. My boxes are filled and ready. I am planting two in each box and arranging them by color.They are supposed to be planted 6 to 8 inches below the surface. I have been told not to water them right away as they may rot in the soil. It has been super hot and my soil is dry but it is supposed to rain in the next couple days.

So they are all planted and ready to grow. Now its just hurry up and wait!
