It’s all looking good Ian. I’m so glad you mentioned the dahlias lasting another couple of weeks as I’m growing some for our daughters wedding party a week on Saturday and I thought they’d stop growing now. There’s loads of buds on but I thought we needed warmer weather and sun for them to bloom. Mine have been very slow this year. Should I feed them do you know?
@@Tea_and_thyme_2012 You will still get plenty of flowers for the wedding. It’s too late for the fertiliser to make a difference, that needs to be applied during the summer to get the plants going. The best thing you can do is to remove the flowers that’s have finished, or close to finishing, to make sure the flowers that remain get to their best. Good luck with all the wedding arrangements 🌸🌼

It’s roughly 25-30 days from pea sized bud to flower for a large ball type.
@@diyhomeandgardening that’s really good to know for next year Ian thank you so much.
