    I grow cactus type Dahlias every year from tubers . This year I planted seven in late March , six showed and produced healthy plants , one failed . In june I had put them outside the greenhouse with other plants to harden off and get the lovely sun. The time came to plant them and I planted and staked 7 Dahlias . Funny I thought I only had six :scratch: Looking at the developing flower buds last week , I noticed something odd at the back of the bed . I had planted one of my sweet pepper plants , which was producing peppers among the Dahlias ! :snorky:
