I feel you!! I garden in north central Alabama. For years I have had good luck with growing dahlias, but this year has been brutal. Yes the heat, but then bug pressure, slugs and powdery mildew. So few flowers. So frustrating. I’m hoping the shorter days and eventual break in the heat will make a difference.

We are not alone. I just read a newsletter from 3PorchFarm here and they have lost hundreds of dahlias this year..It has been a tough year for them.
Yikes! I’m on a much smaller scale, but it’s still pretty disappointing 😢
