Hey everyone! Looks like I'm late to the forum lol. Been busy getting all my tubers ready. I'm SOOOO excited for the weather to be looking up. It's in the 60s here today (north of Pittsburgh) sadly this will be the nicest day for awhile. Tomorrow looks pretty good, but after that back down the the 40s and lower 50s.

Also I can definitely report that I overdid myself with tuber buying over the winter... and I still have one more sale I want to get a few from Rolling on the floor laughing

But on the bright side, I made organization my little garden new years resolution, so I have everything mapped out by height in Google sheets. Looks like I'll be losing some more lawn hahaha.

I am so excited to see everyone's blooms this year! Looking forward to sunshine and the happiness it brings with it!

And since the recent conversation seems to be a little bit about color preferences, I thought I'd share my color wheel I made. This is only new varieties that I bought for 2021 and it's already missing a couple new ones (Peaches n Cream and Chimacum Nadjae) also includes a couple I recently found out got cut from an order :(

These are the technical ADS color classifications which definitely offer room for argument lol, but it looks like I'm big into the dark and light blends which I like to think of as sunset and sunrise dahlias. Not so much straight purple or red for me!
