Melissa: good for you for a large task done! I can imagine 12 hours is a lot of work. But imagine all the blooms you will have in the end. Fantastic!
I didn't get any planting done yesterday between the rain and a cookout. We did get to the big greenhouse but it was well empty of items. So I'm still on the look out for helenium. I plan to stop on our way to clinic tomorrow and see if I can find it there.
I'll post one of my dahlia leaves. I find it so interesting the leaf shapes and colors they can all be too as so different from each other.
I do hope I can get a bunch done today. I feel so behind - if I can get the planters done and then maybe I can plant in the garden. Then it will just be the three beds (dahlia included) to get done.
