My mother-in-law never dug up the dahlia tubers and they grew profusely for years!

I have a polytunnel and am looking forward to many more weeks of working inside but outside. I have leeks,celery,winter cabbage,snowball turnips,broad beans and lettuces still to care for . I sowed peas a few weeks ago and they are peeking above the compost in their trays already. I have another tunnel where I will be putting all my seeds for next spring.

Hy Darlene, I would love to see more of your veggie garden :)

Hy Darlene, thanks :)

Have not a clue about latitude, but I am probably in something similar to zone4/5 if that is any help.

Mild summers and cold winters recently!

Tunnels will raise the outside temp to about 8/10 degrees higher!

Hope this helps, ask more if you want :)

Hello fellow Oregonian and MG'er!

I love your Dahlia pics (and all the others too!) and especially your English roses! I grow lots of roses, most all I've started myself and are own root.

My main rose focus the past few years has been OGR and this year I'm enamored with the Austins... I'll be placing my Austin order in the next few weeks (for abt 18+) and would love to hear of your experiences with them :)
