A Study in Dahlias
We’ll spend a slow morning among the rows, where the soil is warming and the first green shoots are beginning to show. This isn't about rigid rules; it’s about understanding the life cycle of the tuber and the rhythmic care required to see it through to a spectacular fall harvest.
