Hi Lorn,
East coast of Ireland, outskirts of Dublin, zone 9 around the coast, and zone 8 inland. I have a hundred yard driveway with parallel beds each side, and I have mixed the growing medium on each side for the length of them. The planting is easier since I made the mix, but I have many dahlias to redeploy/uproot and pass on/lift and split and time is limited.
The bulbs came from J Parker Wholesale in the UK. Interesting website for catalogue shopping. The link is below. I used them as their value is good. Their gladioli range is tremendous in their spring catalogue.

Sterling/dollar exchange rate is c. 1.50 dollars equals 1 pound sterling and the pricing is pretty good I think. They are priced somewhere between retail and wholesale.
Trust this is helpful, thanks for the welcome,
Kind regards,
Peter
