What a day weather wise.... but the perfect afternoon to pour over seed catalogues with a cup of tea. We braved the hell that was Ikea this morning, so now I can dream about what I am going to grow this year.
So dahlias are a definate, I only properly tried them last year and fell in love, if only they were perfumed I think I would have my ultimate plant!
I had some tubers of a variety called Bishops children, I grew these from seed in 2013 and they survived the mild winter of 2013/14. I potted these up and put in the greenhouse and took cuttings off them - wow I am so glad I did, amazing little plants and great for the pollinators being a single.
I took this photo of Bishops Children in late summer, you take pot luck when sowing the seeds, but that is half the fun, a colour range of orange/red and pinks came up for me!
