OK, most folks make a new year. I also do my spring resolution for every upcoming spring.
This spring is no different. Well, if I’m gonna be honest, I actually start making my spring resolutions in the fall.
It’s usually when I have to dig out and prepare all those bloody dahlias tubers for storage. What the heck was I thinking? OMG!!! I have too many. I need to get rid of some of them. My back, my legs, my fingers. That’s it, I’m getting rid of some of them. I have way to many.
- I will not buy any more tubers. I have enough! I don’t need anymore!
- I will not increase the size of my flower bed. Why? Because I have enough tubers. I don’t need anymore
- I will not buy anymore tubers!
- I will plants more wild flowers to help out those hard working bees.
- Find a giant white Zinnia.
- Pay more attention to my Roses.
- Calla Lillie’s Sucks!!! Well only because I have no luck with them, they seem to be jealous of the Dahlias and refuse to give me more than one flower for the season but I love them so much that I keep trying. :(.
- Do not buy anymore tubers!
Alright, I hang my head in shame. So I failed. Numbers 1,3 and 8 have gone the way of the Dodo birds but it was not my fault.
My Kelvin Floodlight
and Thomas Jefferson,
did not make it through the winter hibernation. Sooo…. I had to do it. I had to get other tubers. Come on LOOK AT THEM!!! How could I not put them back? This year I will actually plant them together. I can’t wait to see the contrast.
There is always a possibility that there may be some slippage in the near future but I have faith in me (not) to not purchase (buy it, buy it) any more Dahlias. I have enough after all 😉
