Gardening

So, a friend has talked me into joining a Gardening Club. This one is for Dahlia's and Glads, although most of their attention is towards Dahlias. It is interesting, and there are many MANY lovely varieties of Dahlias. It is amazing the variety of blooms, some small, and some that are huge, as big as 10 inches across.
We have received little tubers from the other club members, and bought some from them at a tuber sale. I had about 18 tubers to plant, had to get a new bed dug by the neighbor. I planted the Dahlia tubers in a couple of trays to get them started while they waited for the new bed. But man, some of the rain we got was so heavy and the tubers got flooded out several times. In the end, when I planted them into the bed, I had lost 3 of the tubers. Hope the rest thrive.
Also, got some Gladiolia bulbs from Teri-Lynn for my birthday. And, got some more glad bulbs from members of the club too. Wasn't sure where to plant them, until I planted the Dahlia bulbs and realized I had room for the glads too. If I hadn't planted them there, I'm not sure where I would have planted them, lol. It should be quite a display when they all grow and bloom. I can't wait.
