BUSY BUSY Spring & Summer!!!

We've been so busy with travel, planting, the pond... OH, the MOST exciting thing for me is that the POND is up and running with a nice waterfall (out of a full sized bathtub), a lovely fountain, a turtle spitter and a fish spitter!  We got it going this past Saturday!  So nice to see...  Will post a photo!

If you're looking to enlarge your dahlia collection,

or if you're just learning about dahlias and

HOW WONDERFUL THEY ARE IN THE GARDEN,

This is the perfect opportunity to get dahlias at a very

low cost.  Thanks for your time!

Honored to be picked as ONE of the TOP FIVE Dahlia Gardens

Here's the link to Dave's Garden which hosts the Garden Watchdog for people to want to be sure they are ordering dahlias or other plants, for that matter, from a "reputable" and "honest" dealing company.  I am honored!!

Have a Great Dahlia Day!!  Jan

Well, we've gotten a ton of snow...

And it's still snowing!!

Here's some photos:

This one is where Art parks his work truck.  We've shoveled snow off the concrete pad 3 times and each time there was about 6" of snow.

This is from the back deck towards the pond.  It's very pretty.  Our dog, Daisy, and our two kitties do not like the snow.

I've shoveled a snowpath on the deck and down the stairs to the garden 3 times and it's still snowing... not huge flakes but steadily coming down.  The forecast yesterday was for rain starting today and the temperatures to get into the 40ºs.  We'll see...

Website updated for the Yew Year of 2012!!

Oh, the trials and tribulations of doing a website.  It only takes ONE letter added in the wrong place and mess everything up!!  Took me a week to realized I had added a letter to a file name that caused an error message to come up every time!  It's Fixed now!!  Now, back to dahlias!!

Piuku!

This is the name of this bloom which I received from 

Yoann Beaumont, France Dahlia Society President

and hybridizer of this Single varigated dahlia.

Alauna Griselda

Hybridized by Michel Robert, Past President of

the France Dahlia Society.  A lovely shade and

beautiful form!



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!
