Fertilizer Friday is hosted by Tootsie Time.
Stop by and see who's flaunting their flowers this week.

No frost yet , but the nights are getting much cooler. The dahlia's continue to delight, blooming more and more. I'm very surprised at the unusual colors from 'Double Extreme Mixed'. Very surprising for a seed grown blend. Now if I could only find a reasonably priced source for seeds of 'Showpiece' dahlias...

  2. The dahlias are stunning! All of your flowers are still doing so well, and I am going to try those zinnias next spring.
