had a busy morning in the garden yesterday…

opened my box from The Dahlia Expert and took out my eight new tubers… I’d set it on the floor out of the way for a few days after it arrived to be sure it was safe;-)…

found pots, cleaned them out and matched the tubers with the appropriate pot…

left them outside for the rest of the day hoping that the rain might give them a drink… it did rain for a very short time but not a lot…

took quite a while, but eventually all eight were nestled in their new homes…

brought them in just before dark and put them back out for the day this morning…

they will be coming in and going out for the next while as I wanted them to get a head start on growing before they can live outside permanently;-)…

so excited to watch them grow…
