Hanging baskets, all started from seed. I made a rack out of scrap material to hang em on!

First time trying Astilbe's

Dahlia's, 5 different types, first time trying these too.

Dahlia, saved the tuber from last year and kept in the house.

Thank you! Yes, I leave in the huge pots but do have to water every day. From what I read, they have a very shallow root system and are easy to damage when transplanted. Too smuch stress from transplanting can cause the heads to become stunted.
So I usually start them in the really small cells, then one transplant to the 2.5 (?) inch pots, then final transplant to large pots. I do have a couple in the grow bed too, but the ones in large pots are actually producing larger heads- using same dirt! I have some more starters of cauliflower too, and will try them directly outside once frost danger is gone (hmmm, that could be late July!)

I'd love that.. I have bearded iris if you want some.. they are the hybrid big blooms.. Hopefully by the time of the BBQ and greenhouse tour they will be in bloom and you can pick the ones you want.. if you want some.. :)
