#226 | Good Morning everyone! Yesterday I spent part of the day re potting all my flowering plants that I have in pots.. I am fairly certain now that I bought bad dirt, again... Stay away from Schultz's brand... I will know in a week or so if my flowers improve.
This soil rotted half of my dahlia tubers, half of my fancy Begonia bulbs and left my hanging baskets soggy too.. Schultz's did refund my money but I still lost a lot flowers...
Take care everyone!

Hi All, hope you are all having good weather as the season draws on,bringing more and more flowers into view,it seems like just a couple of weeks since we were planting things out and now all of a sudden we have had our longest day  bringing the prospect of ever shortening days ....I was worrying about how late the season was going to be but everything seems to have caught up now above are a couple of pics that are in flower at the moment ..... Steppinstone Thats some flower on that Giant columbine franca great Dahlia pic and that pink one it looks like Lavatera ?? what a show they give of when in full flower ....
For now thats about it,lots of weeding to do today happy gardening .......

Beautiful pic's t69........
Yes your right it is a Lavatera, we have lots of them all over the place.... some even have three shades of pink all on the same plant...... they sure put on a good show every year.
Well back to the (WEEDING ).............

#234 | Frank, the plants seem to really like the new soil . Two of the dahlia's are still growing.
What are you all using for fertilizer? I think it has some magic powers that I may be interested in? | | | Distinguished Member with 16,482 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Vancouver British Columbia |
