I have waited SO long for my dahlias too bloom. This year was my first attempt on dahlias, because let’s face it – it seem to be a hassle to grow.

So I started indoors and headed new sprouts and gotten many new plants. But after planting them outside, nothing happened. They didn’t seem to grow and no buds where showing. Friends have proudly shared their flowers over social media since the beginning of July. But my plats – nothing.

But today I harvest my first one. The pride! Oh the joy. A lot more buds are coming, but as winter’s coming (or it seems like) in Sweden. I wonder if I get more…
