Beautiful wow you know how to look after and grow dahlias to perfection. If I was the judge I wouldn’t hesitate to give you a gold 1st prize. Such a pleasure to see these beauties, well done
Congratulations Dave, cracking exhibits. Ryecroft Jill was late for me, probably due to a lack of sun and warmth in July and early August, but some really nice blooms now.
The blooms that aren't going to make it time wise - do you cut them off Dave, so the plant can put more energy into the ones that will? They look amazing.... well done !
Don't generally have the time, I tend to remove them when they are past it. Plants are grown at numbers to perform so if they are still on the plant it shouldn't effect the others.
