Could you please point me in the direction to learn the proper way to and time to pinch the buds. I notice some pictures have several buds at the top and yet they have big blooms. I have been led to believe that if you want a big bloom you must pinch all other buds so that the energy will go to that one or is this just true with the Dinnerplate or not true at all. I have also been told to not water right away when you plant a tubular. I am very discouraged with my experience with Dahlias. My Mom / Grandmother had awesome Dahlias. I am sad to say that I did not take the interest in them until it was to late to learn from her. I had one nice bloom this year.
Thank You
