Finally some dahlias

We decided that this would be the year of the dahlia. That we before we discovered that it was actually the year of the slug.

It seems that slugs love young dahlia shoots so as soon as they peeped above the surfact of the soil, the slugs nibbled them down again. We did manage to get a few to grow large enough to succeed so here are a few for your enjoyment.

Actually the pictures are better than the real thing as there is not a hint of scent anywhere so you are not missing anything there.












To finish today, we do still have food in the form of bean, tomatoes, eggs, raspberries, courgettes (or is it marrow, or maybe banana)and the last of the sweetcorn.
