My dahlia "Sweetness" was all twisted and stunted last year but I saved the tubers and it is doing wonderfully well this year. Porcupine is also doing well, healthy and the most lovely blooms. It is by far the best year I have ever had for dahlias. I am hoping Porcupine produces a nice bunch of tubers. Geof was it you who asked for a tuber if I managed to get a good batch?? I had someone's name on my desk wall all winter but in the spring it looked like I had lost the tuber so I pitched the note. Now I wish I hadn't as I am more than willing to share.
