            Good morning this is special to me as last year I lost all my Dahlias 20 or more to slugs and snails,so this year I was given these 4 plants (left outside my front door)have no idea what variety or name they are,and planted them in a half barrel with a copper strip round the top,and this is the result:smile:

                Those dahlias are looking healthy this time. The ones I posted are in part of the veg plot (given to us by one of Mrs Shiney's patients who grow them for a hobby) and I've no idea what varieties they are but they've been there for a couple of years. :noidea:
