I went Dahlia crazy this year. Every time I went to Costco I grabbed a bag. So now I have 52 dahlia plants. I call it Dahliamageddon. I have 16 in a raised bed and a few in containers. There has to be a dahlia support group!
Good morning 😃 oh my gosh I cannot wait to see these in full bloom 😱😱😱 that is the perfect spot in your garden for them 🥰🥰. I would love to send you a picture of me in the gardens when the humidity is 98% and the dew point is 72 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Pretty frightening 😂😂 have a wonderful day friend ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Good morning my friend! Oh my goodness I have SO much respect for you gardening in that! It is like wearing a wet hot blanket! Have a wonderful day! 😘😘😘
I get so excited when I see your foxgloves lol I loved the camera angle of you pushing the wheelbarrow by the foxgloves! The dahlias will look so beautiful next to that black fence! I started three dahlias tubers this year and I have about 68 started by seeds from Floret. So excited to get them in the ground!
This video was so helpful. I started dahlias from seed this year and I just planted the little guys out into the flower bed. (zone 8) I was confused about the pinching, but you helped to clarify what I need to do! I also appreciate the info on fertilizer. Wish me luck! :)
Oh, Janey, I really need to get me some dahlias. They are gorgeous. I was really looking forward to seeing the lake Tahoe variety. Oh well, maybe next year. I hope you received some of that downpour that we had last night. It was glorious!
We did! It was wonderful! We actually have been getting quite a lot of rain! I'm so happy (and I think so are my plants!) You should definitely get some dahlias Luanne! They are addicting!
I’m in zone 10a and am getting ready to plant my dahlias out into the garden too. I have the same dahlia from Home Depot and as soon as I get them out of storage I’ll come back and update you with a name! Happy gardening!
@@DigPlantWaterRepeat ok so I planted out my dahlias today and I think the one in question is called Mom’s Special. These were the only 2 that rotted in storage for me 😭
Great video! I’m in zone 9b, Terrytown, LA (New Orleans area) and we get very muggy during spring and summer. We are having strange weather; very windy and cool. I have gained so much knowledge from you. I can also see how different plants behave and how they should behave for me. It also gives me ideas for placement. I am so glad I found your TH-cam site. Thank you!
Nice video Jannie! Thanks! So, next time you plant anything, including Dahlias, add some Espoma Bio-Tone into the hole. Mix and plant. It is an organic starter fertilizer that contains bone meal along with slow release nitrogen and other organics to promote fast root growth to establish plants. 😀
They are all beautiful varieties and I’m looking forward to seeing them in bloom. Your neighbours will get a treat every time they walk past your house! 😃 I bought about 20 new ones this year, to add to the 15 I overwintered, so I have quite a few growing nicely in the greenhouse waiting for us to get past the last danger of frost. I’m planning to put them all in big pots outside my house this year, for some big impact, just need to keep the slugs away! I’m really enjoying your videos Janey, thanks.
Enjoy your videos. So glad I found your channel finally a TH-camr in the area I live . I live in the bay area and can relate to everything you’re saying familiar places, familiar weather and gardening issues. It has peaked my interest in planting dahlias.
What is interesting to me is that my dahlias took off later into summer when the Temps were starting to come down some. I thought that was strange !!! But maybe I got them in later than I thought. Who knows??? Can't wait to see your blooming dahlias !!!
Good morning. So excited to see those Dahlias coming up. Looking forward to seeing them in bloom as well as the ones that will be going into your cut flower garden. I love Dahlias. Enjoy them and have a wonderful day.
Good morning!! I love dahlias as well! Especially that you HAVE to cut them to keep them blooming, makes me really enjoy my bouquets! Have a great day! 💗
Last yr was my first growing tubers, at this age I don't why it took decades.! ! ! ! ! Yours will look beautiful against the black backdrop, well I guess If you can still see the fence. My mom was a avid gardener, she passed in '05 and I came across a box of bone meal just last yr in the shed, and yep I used it. It gets way humid here.
I'm giggling listening to you talking about the humidity because Georgia is humid 100% of the time, lol! The summer feels like walking outside into a sauna. 🤣 When I go back to visit family on the west coast my hair is completely tame, I don't even try here, lol! The dahlias are going to be gorgeous! I can't wait to see them blooming!
Haha I know and the humidity we had that day was NOTHING compared to what you deal with! I would seriously wear my hair in a ponytail every single day if I lived in that! I have so much respect for you gardening in that Andrea! Good job! And your hair always looks gorgeous by the way!
They are going to look so beautiful against the fence. Can’t wait for your summer garden tour, it’s going to be amazing! I planted 3 dahlia tubers yesterday, I will be sprinkling slugo now! Thanks for the reminder!
I have so much respect for you if you garden in humidity! It takes so much effort and feels like you are swimming in sweat! Plus im sure what I've felt is NOTHING compared to what you have! Thanks for watching and have a great day!
I’m in 9b Northern Ca too but on the coast in Humboldt. I think we just had our last frost this week. I’ll probably wait until May to plant my new dahlias. My established dahlias have not emerged yet. I usually use that as a sign that it’s safe to plant any new varieties. I traded some glads for a bag full of mystery dahlia tubers. I can’t wait to see what I got.
Ooh how exciting and fun! Yes I feel like I am just getting to the time of planting so I know you at the coast are a bit behind me! Good luck on your mystery dahlias!
Yay! Excited to see this video! Thanks for the info on the fertilizer. I have 4 dahlias that I needed to pinch...big box...and decided to try and propagate them. Crossing my fingers it works! Thank you for the wonderful content!
Really enjoyed your video about Dahlias, and wish that I could be planting my Dahlias now ! You should have a beautiful display later on. Best Wishes, Paul & Nadj.
Looking forward to see them bloom this year.. I love dahlia as well.first time I grow last year now I'm hooked..I keep buying more when I see it in store..🤣 my husband said I have plant addiction. Lol
Hahaha it’s sooo easy to get addicted right?? If I had more space I bet I would just fill it up with more dahlias and complain again about not having enough space! 😆😘
I’m in zone 7b GA and humidity is a beast here! Great video as always! I have some Dahlias in pots that I’m trying to figure out where to plant. The garden looks amazing! I’m enjoying every video. I can’t wait to see the bouquets you create.
I can’t wait to see your dahlias bloom. They will be so beautiful against the black fence. I grew them from seed this year. The information you gave on planting is very helpful. Do you happen to know what brand the soil thermometer you have? Please be sure to give us updates on how they are doing.
Hi Tammy! I don’t! It doesn’t say a brand on it and I threw away the packaging but I found one on Amazon the LOOKS similar! I linked it in the description! 💗
Can't wait to see the flowers Janey. When you pinched I almost fainted! I thought it was just going to be the tip, lol.😄 Thanks for all the tips. I noticed you didn't throw in sure start? Your little white bucket. What we're you shaking into the hole. Was that sluggo? Thanks
Hahaha! I'm sorry I scared you!! I did not throw in any sure start with the dahlias. I just amended with compost and then put sluggo around to protect from slugs!
Those are going to be glorious. Will you use the fence to stake them when the time comes? Our daughter just received an order for me, her and our other daughter so we all will be having fun with our dahlias. Im in SE Wisconsin , Zone 5 a so you are a few weeks ahead of us. She ordered them from Swan Island Dahlias
Hi Janet! Yes that is my plan to lash them to the fence so I dont have to worry about putting stakes in the ground there! How sweet that you garden with your 2 daughters! I have 2 of my own and love being out there with them! Thanks for watching!
Looks great! Thank you for sharing this with us!!! The no name one looks like my Pacific ocean dahlia but they are small you said yours was mid sized 🤔
The first Dahlia I ever grew was Lilac Time and I was so impressed by it's size and how the petals seemed to glitter in the sun. I loved it. I bought the tubers at Lowes, but this year I was hesitant to grow dahlia's due to the spider mite issue I experienced. After I saw your video of all the tubers you purchased I got inspired again, but I didn't set up on time the area where I thought to plant them this year. I wanted to try a raised bed instead of pots so I can treat the soil monthly with Bioadvanced Rose & Flower Care All in 1. It contains 6-9-6, do you think that would be a good fertilizer, disease and insect control for dahlias? Have a beautiful Earth Day! 🙂🌎
Hello my friend!! Oh that is really exciting about Lilac Time! I can't wait for mine to bloom! I think that would be a great fertilizer, and good to protect them! I hope it works for you and keep me updated!
I'm in zone 6a so I haven't planted anything yet. Our weather here is up and down yet. Maybe by mid May is best for us here in Western NY suburb of Buffalo NY.
Hi! There are a few varieties that don’t need staking but most definitely do! Don’t make the mistake I did and not stake them then walk outside to find them flat on the ground! 😆💗😘
No you can leave them if you want! I was talking to a dahlia grower from San Jose (zone 9b) and they DO lift theirs but I think it is up to you in zone 9b! Yay for free dahlias!!
Hi Teina! One of my varieties just started blooming but I have another variety that has not started blooming yet! I bet yours start in the next few weeks! Dont worry!
Hi Lindi! It is PW lemon coral sedum! PS which green acres do you go to? I went to elk grove and didn't see any pink superbena there yesterday and want to try another one! I feel like when they get PW in they sell out immediately so it might just not be there anymore! Thanks!
Our humidity is over 70% on a daily basis 😫 It SUCKS! I went to california on vacation & I was like omg I feel like I can breathe & my skin can breathe instead of being soaked in sweat the minute I walk outside! That's One of the reasons why I didn't show myself in my videos my 1st year on TH-cam is because I hated the fact that every time I was outside doing something in the garden I was literally dripping and sweat from my face down absolutely hate it! I would love to move somewhere that had less humidity!
I went Dahlia crazy this year. Every time I went to Costco I grabbed a bag. So now I have 52 dahlia plants. I call it Dahliamageddon. I have 16 in a raised bed and a few in containers. There has to be a dahlia support group!
Hahaha Natasha! 52 dahlias?! You crazy!! Your summer once they start blooming really is going to be dahliamageddon! 💗💗💗

Hi Nancy! That is great! I'm glad I could help! Thanks for watching and GOOD LUCK!
I think you are supposed to pinch ABOVE the third set of leaves, but great video nonetheless! I'm excited to see the blooms this summer!
Hi Jessica! Thanks so much for the tip! 💗
Those dahlias will be beautiful!
About the pinching…I’ve always seen that you pinch Above the third set of leaves, leaving three sets on the plant.
Thank you! Oh interesting! I’ve always pinched down to the first, but I’m sure it does great both ways! 💗
So sorry beautiful 😍
Thank you Margarita! 💗

How wonderful! Lucky you can plant so early! Thanks for watching! 💗
Qoutes in the description of your videos are lovely to read
Excellent work 👍
Thank you! I appreciate that! 💗
Can't wait to see all your dahlias in bloom! I add Espoma's Tomato Tone when I plant my dahlia tubers and they get huge! 😊
Really!!?? Ive never heard that one! Thank you great advice!!
My "Wizard of Oz" is being very slow to wake up as well, fingers crossed! I'm in Oregon 8b so a little behind you. Thank you for the great videos!

I can’t wait to see your dahlias. I’m new to growing dahlias-is it necessary to stake/support all dahlias?
Hi! There are a few varieties that don’t need staking but most definitely do! Don’t make the mistake I did and not stake them then walk outside to find them flat on the ground! 😆💗😘
Hi!!!!! I just put some in the ground a week ago and started some in pots. What type of sun where your dahlias ? Morning sun, full sun, etc? Thank you
Hi Kelly!! How exciting! Can’t wait for blooms! I have all mine in full sun! 💗
I thought you weren't supposed to pinch dahlias if rain is expected in the next 24 hours so that water doesn't get into the stalk?
the desert rain is nothing like back east. hi from Utah. when it rains here it's dry right after ;)
Hi! I haven't heard that but thanks for the tip! I'll watch that dahlia that I pinched and see what happens! Thank you!
Hi Jane! Love your name 😉 Yes our rain is pretty much nothing! 😆
Do you have any pictures of your last year's Garden
Hi! I do, I am planning to do a before and after video very soon! Thanks for watching! 💗
Im in zone 9b and hubby just came home with some dahlias from his coworker. I am SO HAPPY! Do we have to lift these in the fall? 🤔
No you can leave them if you want! I was talking to a dahlia grower from San Jose (zone 9b) and they DO lift theirs but I think it is up to you in zone 9b! Yay for free dahlias!!
I don't know how it feels not to garden in humidity. I have to plan my garden days because I will always be sweaty,sticky and dirty. Texas humidity 🫠
Oh my I feel for you!! It was intense and I’m sure that days humidity was nothing compared to your “normal” days! 😆
Beautiful!
Off topic question 🙋🏼♀️
When do your irises bloom? I'm in a similar zone 9a in northern Cali, but no blooms yet 😭
Hi Teina! One of my varieties just started blooming but I have another variety that has not started blooming yet! I bet yours start in the next few weeks! Dont worry!

No they don’t have queens!
@@DigPlantWaterRepeat did they produce honey?
@@sunmoonrise no they don’t! They are supposed to be the BEST pollinators though!

Hi Lindi! It is PW lemon coral sedum! PS which green acres do you go to? I went to elk grove and didn't see any pink superbena there yesterday and want to try another one! I feel like when they get PW in they sell out immediately so it might just not be there anymore! Thanks!
@@DigPlantWaterRepeat
I found it at and usually frequent Roseville location. But I will be checking out the Elk Grove one again this weekend.
Do they grow in zone 9a clay soil? And how do I prepare the soil?
Hi Tammy! Yes!! I would amend the soil with some pine bark mulch or compost to loosen it up!
9B? Im in 7B(New Jersey) and have left them in the ground. They came back every year.
