Website updated, uploaded last night!!

It always take a while to get back into the groove of working on the website.  Trial and error, trial and error until I finally get it right.  I am so glad it's now done!  I have many many new dahlias with their photos on the website.  New music too!

What an AWESOME flower this one is!

It blooms and blooms and blooms... georgous!

Nearly TWO THIRDS of the dahlias have been dug!! Wahoooo!

I and my helpers have been working long days digging, dividing, cleansing, drying and storing the dahlia tubers.  The weather has been nice so it hasn't been an unpleasant job.  Tomorrow is another long day.

I will be updating my website with "Sold Out" varieties within the next two weeks.  A person can only do so much in a day...

Here's a couple of beauties!!

I've cut one of these blooms, put it in a large bowl with water

(changing it daily) and it lasts a full two weeks and still looks beautiful!

Have a Great Day!!

The garden experienced a "frost" last night.

Now it's time to cut down the dahlias and start digging.
Photos of some new dahlias:

I am not certain of the name for this dahlia, but it's really beautiful. 

Grows to about 10 inches across when it's full bloom.  Stands about 4-1/2 feet tall.

This is two of the new ones!!  Very nice!

Dahlia tuber orders will be accepted AFTER Sept. 15, 2011

Hopefully, by the middle of September the majority of the dahlias will be blooming for everyone.  I will be working on updating the dahlia website with more new photos of the newest additions from several USA garden as well as more from France and the Czech Republic.

August 10, 2011 -- Dahlias are blooming!!

Every day there are more blooms to see in the garden... FINALLY!!!

With the warmer weather the dahlias are growing much better.

The corn is more than 6 feet tall and forming ears and tassels. 
The peas and green beans are also 6 feet tall and still growing!

I opened the garden today for U-Pick Vegetables.  There is
finally something to pick!

The garden got a new work horse today!!

Lots of running around to do on the farm!  This will make it easier and quicker.  The dahlias are beginning to bloom... I picked two bouquets today.  One was of purples and pinks and the other was yellows, reds and oranges.  Very nice to finally have the dahlias blooming.

The vegetables are starting to present themselves too!  Will soon be opening the U-Pick Veggie garden for fresh organically grown vegetables.  We've been eating broccoli, zucchini and using lots of herbs for seasonings.  Fun!!  Have a great day!
