The weather is not nice, I am going to look on line at the dahlia sites, see if anything takes my fancy.

I made an order with Halls on Friday afternoon and then realised that I had made a mistake and sent them an email. They emailed me back today and that they will amend the order. (I've asked for a straight swap of varieties at same cost).
Very happy about this, whether or not they would have agreed to the swap (as it was my error not theirs) I am impressed that they emailed me back on a Sunday.
Fingers crossed that the plants themselves are as good as their service.

Moonlight - I've used them for the past three years and found the service and the plants excellent so hopefully you will have no problems.

I sent a email to the Secretary of the Leeds Paxton Horticultural Society, asking why they did not present any dahlia medals at their last show 2013. Received one back saying it was because of financial reasons, but they will review it. They are affiliated to the NDS so are entitled to two free medal cards, silver and bronze, I have offered them free of charge, 10 silver and 10 bronze medals. Received a email back this morning thanking me for the offer and would be glad to except 5 of each from me. Only one problem now, will have to try and win them back.

That is really good of you Tel. It will make them take more notice and not let the dahlias and medals die out.
