We have had exceptional temperatures in Kent, England this year and this might be the common factor.

Can any garden buffs suggest what has gone wrong?

I also had dahlias that didn’t bloom for me once I over-wintered them even though the tubers looked OK when I started them in the spring. But I do know of plenty of people who save dahlia tubers year after year and even pass them unto another generation so I know it is done successfully. The gladiolas are also confusing.

I plan on letting our readers know about your posting on the Tip of the Week and ask them to help. So be looking for new postings.

Happy Gardening,
Diane
