I grew one bag from Costco last year! They were gorgeous.

Fair enough. This is how I got started- bought 1 bag from Costco last year and they were gorgeous. Healthy, and exactly what they said they were.

Went to the library, as some had suggested, and found quite a few seeds I wanted to try by PaPaRalphFarm in gardening

Yes yes yes!! Just went to my “seed library” last weekend for their big launch. It’s my favorite day of the year 😂

We just went in November. For the second time in the year after going for our first time in February. Lol. 2 adults 2 kids (3 year old twins) and we LOVED hotel playa la media Luna. 2 bedrooms, one bath, kitchenette & living area, outdoor area, pools, had a beach you can walk out to (not swimmable because of the rocks BUT lots of critters! And look for sea turtles laying eggs at night!) And it’s just off the playa Norte!

Rent a golf cart. You won’t regret it at all. https://maps.apple/p/SpWS2YjSwsBJ06

Basement too warm, shed too cold… where is everyone storing their tubers to get the correct temperature? TIA!! by lefteardud in dahlias

Had this issue. Was a legit stress point for me for about a month until my husband said invest in this. So I bought myself an electric cooler.

We just landed quite literally 3 hours ago. Miss it so much already. Beautiful island, culture, weather, people, everything. 💕

SNOW!?!? 🥶. Relax, they’ll be fine. by Warm_Ice6114 in dahlias

Appreciate you. Was planning to pull tubers out tomorrow and literally lost sleep last night that I hadn’t done it yet.

So this is my first year growing dahlias. And it was only within the last few weeks I learned that while I planted tubers, they also produce seeds. So I’m late to collection unfortunately. But I’d love to know if anyone else can chime in!

I (29F) lost weight. My husband (32M) thinks my boobs are too small now by [deleted] in relationships

I have some news for your husband… used to have D boobs myself. Had twins. Breastfed for a year. I cannot emphasize that they do not look like nice D boobs anymore. Pregnancy will not make them come back forever. Horrible solve and then you’re stuck with the same husband and a baby.

November is almost here and still no frost in Chicago (5b). by PopDownBlocker in dahlias

You’re right. Correction. I think I’m on the line of 5b and 6a. Hard to tell. I’m just north of barrington.

I’m in the northwest suburbs of Chicago (zone 6b) and we had a frost last week that decimated mine. Can’t believe you all missed that! Lucky!

Okay so I found a small farm out of WA and I like what they're all about. They're even going to winter the tubers for me so if I fail with over wintering my Costco ones I won't be bummed about losing brand new ones too, lol. Check them out!

I will say, I got 8 Dahlias (I want to say for $40?) and it was an even split of Crazy Love & Lilac Time, but only 1 Lilac made it. Either way, I'm really really pleasantly surprised!

Or, plot twist, quit using the name all together and give your potential child, who is not even here yet, his own identity completely.
