The sun was shining so nice today, I thought it...

MUST BE SPRING!  Then, I realized it was February... bah!  My dahlias and I are ready for Spring.  I spent some time down at the Potting Shed working with some of the dahlias.  Trying something new this year with my labeling.  Instead of putting all the labels on little flags like this photo:

I've taken the labels and laminated them so each label is about 3" x 3" and hole punched them so I can put a wire stem through the label; later I can pull the labels off the wire stem and attached to a string that runs the length of each row for identification for my customers.

I'm doing this because last year I had an awful time with the weather fading out the labels, the rain washing the name off the label, and the wind tearing the labels from the flags.  I decided I don't want to go through that again!

Here's a couple more pictures of some of the new dahlias destined for the garden this Spring:
