I've been busy trying to get my dahlias in the ground. A few by photos to show my progress in my "veg plot". I've laid down weed suppressing for a path. I've pegged one down so far. I will lift this in the autumn.
I'm hoping to have 3 double rows of 20 or 21 plants in the row. Not yet sure how I'm going to support them. You know me - I hate the diy bit. I thought I could use the old chicken electric fence stretch across but the holes are too small. I used steel supports last year cut up 6mm steel rods - but they've gone upto £6 for a 6metre length!! I can have for £3 if I don't have them cut but I can't get them in the car. I was wondering if I bought some bolt croppers
I could cut in half quickly? But I'd end up spending £20 on the bolt croppers!!
