A swap with, @Keely now flowering beautifully

It's perfect size for front on a border that's why I love it 👍😄

Do I start to feed theses now they're showing some growth?

I don't start feeding mine for 6-8 weeks after planting Jeremy ....the fresh compost has enough nutrients in it for that length of time 😊👍🌱

Oh well remembered Pauline, I'd forgotten that 👍👏👏👏

Yes, they don't need mollycoddling yet Jeremy 👍👍

Yay! All 3 dahlias are showing themselves 😁

Exciting to see 💚💚

Wohooo 👍🏻👍🏻

There you go woop woop 👌👍😄

Yay, whats the difference between a bedding and a border dahlia?

umm really not sure Leslie others here would be far better placed to answer than me 🙂

@lesliecole49 the bedding dahlias tend to be smaller varieties and grown from seed until they produce tubers for the following year, border dahlias are grown from tubers and tend to be taller for the backs of borders, at least I think that's the answer 😄

Sounds good, works for me Keely, thanks @keely

My first time with dahlias, I watered them when I planted them about 2 weeks ago, but how often after that?

I would water them a little everyday till it sprouts 😊

Thank you Melanie, I'll give them a light watering each day, they're just recently potted 🤔😊

👍 I utubed and watched how to pot mine up today as only had dwarf ones before as plants.

I only water once pot is light again generally once a week depending on heat of sun. Don't forget I've got some tubers for you too. I've still not done my small ones yet but will definitely have spares for you. Potted up the foxgloves in a tray for you too and your hosta is sprouting and ready for a new pot 😄

Sounds good Keely re the dahlias, it's 75deg in my greenhouse now. I've more pots and spots#in the garden for yours (greatly appreciated). Mine say 80-100cm high so will need staking or planting out. I've a good lot of Dianthus sprouting and marigolds too if you'd like some, way off ready at the moment oh and some teasel coming on, best for a pot as it can swamp. 😁🤗
