2011 planting zone

Well, this is where the dahlias will be planted out this year; bit of work to do methinks!  Apologies here and now for the rubbish video clip, I'm better at growing dahlias than filming!

The trees stay, so a planting plan to incorporate them is a pre-requisite.  I could plant in traditional commercial style beds, boring - yawn - yawn, or be creative and plant out in shaped beds.  As this will be the "showcase" my thoughts are moving towards the more creative which *could* be spectacular when viewed from the higher ground as there is a large enough gradient to provide a viewing point in the area beyond the fir tree 3 - 4 seconds into the clip.

However, any shaped beds have to work logistically as the blooms will be harvested through the season for the cut flower trade we do.

Next task is to cultivate ... must rush into it though .. delay and procrastinate as long as possible!

Pop back soon for project updates please!  (and leave comments!)
