Okay, I can't take it any more. We're on our 5th inch of rain in about as many days, it seems. It's 48 degrees or less outside, but thankfully the furnace still runs so I don't need gloves to type. I don't have one dahlia in the ground yet. They are all hunkered down growing in pots in the garage, a greenhouse, or in the basement on heat mats waiting for the development of the miracle eye.
I work weekends. Every single past Saturday and Sunday has been sunny and warmer. This weekend, as the rain gauge fills on my days off, it is to be sunny and 70 with showers resuming on Monday. I will be lucky if our soil temp creeps to 70 degrees by the middle of August.
Usually, our merry month of May offers at least a smattering of nice days but this is a very bad start to Dahlias 09. What's going wrong in your neck of the woods? Or what's going right?
