Well, hope you all with hurt arm, shoulder, etc. start to feel better. Nothing like hurt body to make your day go bad.

Sarv, about that greenhouse. I wished I had a couple hundred more and I would buy that nice greenhouse. Like I said, maybe later after the kids are totally (note I said totally, meaning I don't have to financially support them anymore, lol) gone, I will spend money on me.
About the dahlia tubers, it is just fine to wash them. Just make sure they are dry when you store them tho. Let them sit out to dry in the wind or light sun.

Julie, I love your idea about planting the mum and bulbs. I have a couple mums in a pot that they need to come out and into the ground, so will also plop some daf and tul. bulbs in the hole too.

Dcat, you ask about dahlias. Well, I think everyone has a favorite flower or plant and dahlias are mine. I do like the variety of other flowers too tho, to blend in with the dahlias and other parts of the garden. As to having so many, a gardener can't have too many, LOL!!!

Molly, you sound just like me worrying all the time to make sure what you plan goes just right. I do the same thing on not sleeping right before an event.

Bal, the pups looks like they are having so much fun together. Am glad that they get along too. That is very important. Hope you get to take the class for the hearing dog. I believe that you are doing something very important. Someday I may even think about getting a hearing dog too but don't want to resort to that yet.

Well, ended up doing odd and ends yesterday in the garden. It was a nice calm day after the wind and rain on Sat. Plus I made spaghetti for dinner with my own homegrown tomatoes too. It was pretty good. The pot will be on the stove for you all to have for your dinner tonight. Dig in!

By the way, does anyone want a Bee Balm, 'Monarch Delight'? It is a pink one. For either trade or postage? I dug it up yesterday since it is was in a tight spot. Let me know. I can look up the pic of it on the PlantFile if you want a pic of it or you can too.

Here is a picture that I took of my dahlia yesterday. Since the lighting was so good in the morn. and it was so calm, I got to take a few more good pics of dahlias. This is 'Fire Magic'.

Later, Carol (DR)
