This spring and summer was one of experimental gardening. Since I decided to take the advise of a complete stranger and burn all of my plants with boiling water, accidentally turn off the sprinklers for 7 days during the June heat and keep plants in the garage for weeks before I plant them I would say the some things can/did survive. These are pictures that I took, most of my Dahlia's some from Utah and some from the Grand Rapids Dahlia Association. It is such a JOY to walk in the yard, have the two dogs following and looking at the growth that pulled through some tough times. I am reminded that I really have no control over what happens and that with and without my help these flowers are some of the most gorgeous every grown. I love my garden and can't wait for another year to see where it takes us.
