I've sown the 3 seeds I collected from my 'mongrel' garden dahlias Moonlight but have no idea which they were or if they'll germinate, you're very organised even though you will probably say you're not!

SueA any news?

No sign of life from them Moonlight so I think they might not have been viable, all my various other flower/veg. seeds are up & fine & I've grown bedding dahlias from seed in the past. I've left them in a propagator for now to see if they are just a bit slow but I'm not very hopeful, never mind I'll give it another go next season & watch your seedlings story with interest!

Never know. Some of my varieties haven't shown yet .

I might have a few come up still here and there but I think that is pretty much it for the seedlings to come up. I bought 4 more x30 cell'd window ledge seed trays. Luckily my Dad has agreed to let some lodge with him - good thing considering I don't have the room. I won't be giving him any collerette dahlias! Thinking that I might give him all of my ball dahlia seedlings and the ones that have come up have all come from his seedling (+he dooes have a thing about ball dahlias v dec and unlike me know what he is talking about. + some Weston Corsair because I have loads of them.
