I'm a bit glad things are a bit at a standstill growing wise because it is giving me lots of time to tackle garden infrastructure before things pop off and planting season is always so hectic!
Oh we're growing the same dahlias! I'm really excited to see what they turn out like - I think I prefer the mystery of seeds over tubers - it's more fun to not know.
That's so funny! I feel the same way--I had such bad luck with getting virused tubers that I'm just doing seeds for now. Even the fancy Floret pack is definitely cheaper than buying a few tubers, and they really do look pretty. Can't wait to compare dahlias!

Definitely true--I always forget to get pots/teepees ready until it's time to plant. Those parts just aren't as fun!

Great article and can’t wait to see everything in bloom! Snapdragons take me back to my Ohio Childhood.
Thanks, Anthe! When I see you next I can't wait to hear about your parents' gardens. :)
