They say we have it easy growing dahlias on the coast. Well after last weeks couple of inches of rain and a wind gauge that showed wind gusts over 30mph, Maybe we were lucky? Could have bee 60mph. This is only one small section and the ones on the ground were from only a section of 12 plants. Getting numb to the misery so I can start again tomorrow. Maybe cocktails first!
