I was taking a days rest in bed after working too many days into the night, and half asleep saw your offer.īut this garden has all been dreams hasn’t it! Despite drought, deer, rodents, no see ums that come out at dusk just when things cool off. Unfortunatly, this set up has been costly and there is no budget for new bulbs this year! I know many will come back from just an eye or two but I need to buy new stock. I had to go back to work! Finally now, Im opening the farm-on weekends only, but found the dahlias had mostly rotted. I had to make a choice between opening the farm or continuing to work. The state shut down everything right away. I took a bit of each type with me to move to the new farm but what a time I had!Īs I was supposed to open up for business to host events at the farm in the garden rooms I had created, Covid hit! I left that garden to begin farming on a new site. Each spring I planted hundreds starting April 15th before weeds emerged and waylaid me! I would pot up culls to fill holes that appeared later on. I grew dahlias for many years in a huge cut flower garden.
