My tubers started sprouting a week or two after planting, BUT they took a beating by the slugs! I lost my Miss Molly Dahlia but since the place I order from has a guarantee, I just shot them an email and they sent me a new tuber! Amazing customer service!
Slugs are nasty little creatures! I have been debating on putting out slug bait BUT I have a very curious doggy that loves to put his nose in things that he shouldn't put his nose in. So I have explored other options like eggshells or gravel.
Isn't that the cutest face ever???
I also had to relocate my planters as they were not getting enough sun. I moved them to the side of my house where there used to be very large rosebushes. They seem to be doing much better and are growing super fast! I now have very healthy large Dahlia plants that are starting to bud.
I do have one Dahlia that is blooming already! Its my Nancilee Dahlia and it is BEAUTIFUL!!! I cannot wait to cut it and bring it in the house!
