So nearly Aug and the dahlias have been quite slow - but I managed to dig a couple
More beds this year and planted in just over 300
- unfortunately I have had lots of slug damage so lost a few plants and some are slow off the mark/ravaged because of it. Never had this much slug action in my life.
Still on the search for a rudbckia that I like in my bunches. This yellow with the pale centre has been the nest so far with a lovely long stem...white agastache, has been lovely. I would like to gind some more flowers that are "green". This year I did less varieties and more of each - this hasnt worked so well as I have had huge gluts of one and then a lull. I need to sit down with a plan and look at those that I can sow several times for an extended cut...and variwties that will overlap so I have a choice.
