Dahlia Show at Country Village

This last weekend, the Fuschia and Dahlia Shows opened on Saturday at Country Village in Bothell.  It was a chance to learn more about these flowers, and to talk with members of the Dahlia and Fuschia Societies.  We learned a lot about the dahlia bulbs we will be planting in the next few weeks.

Right now, we are busy preparing the soil for the correct pH (6.5), and need to amend the current soil at our planting site with bone meal, sand, and 4-10-10 fertilizer.  Once we get about 10 four-foot stakes to support these plants as they grow, we will be ready to put the bulbs in the ground.  It's going to be a great experiment!
