Evening all, this looks like such a helpful and knowledgable online community that I thought I have to join.

I live in a very wet Wales (or white at the moment after all this snow!!) and grow vegetables and flowers on three allotments.

Have been growing dahlias for a few years and have the odd dabble at local shows. I hope to improve my standards this year and maybe get some covers up.

Hi Markb, welcome to the forum, so you too grow some weeds then. ;D

This must be the best forum for dahlias. However, a lot of us grow your other plants.

Hiya Matthew,
Welcome to Garden Friends. Looking forward to reading your posts.
Cherry is right there are a lot of us dahlia nuts here but don't let that put you off!

I've a passion for dahlias but I am a complete beginner, I'm also trying to grow sweet peas and I've recently bought my 1st 2 roses.

Have you got an open bird table? We fastened mesh across the open part of ours and that stopped the pigeons. I haven't got an answer to how to stop the pooo though - they perch on the Eucalpyptus tree and I have to clear up underneath!

By the way, try posting questions on 'Over the Garden Fence' - we're on the wrong thread, really.
