robh. I did get Lochend's catalogue this year, but never ordered anything from them, as I found what I wanted else where, but they do have a good reputation. If you are planting brought tubers, which tend to be small, I normally plant them into 5" pots towards the end of March, and keep them in the greenhouse before hardening off, ready for when all frosts have gone. I just keep an eye that they don't get pot bound, and if I see any problems, I pot them up. You could leave it till Mid April, but I always find some tubers grow faster than others. Not sure which type of Dahlias you are after, but have a look at Anglia bulbs or Grains Baumaux in France. Mark |
