Took my camera into the greenhouse to take a few photos for my pictorial diary.
This is what I took;
Dahlia tubers beginning to sprout;

Forget the LIKE button, how about one for "Wildly envious"?
Looking good TG ecxcept the toms looking a bit lanky.. but you can pot them deeeeeep when the time comes.

I don't think they are particularly 'lanky' Gavin in fact I like that sort of length at this stage.
As you can see the length is under the cotyledons (seed leaves) meaning when I prick them out and sink them up to the seed leaves, roots will emanate from this section thus giving me a bigger root ball prior to planting out.
Now if they had been 'lanky' above the seed leaves well!! that's a different thing!
TG, looking really productive, slight touch of envy.
Hope the rest of the season is as good.
Digmore. :wave:

As I said - you can plant them deep.. I always plant mine at least 2/3 buried...
