I live in a council flat and turned a grass verge into a garden and filled it with Dahlias. I’m on my third year. I have over 20 I would say varieties, the only problem with them is the wind and it’s a shame they flower at the end of summer but there still awesome.
So beautiful!!!
I had a 1 year old dahlias blown & snapped the stalks in a storm will it grow back next year it’s in a large pot
Wow
How do you stop slugs and snails eating them?
If it really is dahlia virus the ground should not be contaminated so long as you remove all the tubers
Prettiest compost
Stunning!
You cut out the growth point of young plants to make them bush out. Later in the season when the plants are flowering, if you take off the two side buds and just leave the centre bud, you get a bigger flower.
Yes, I do dig them up. See my video “How Geoff and Heather grow dahlias”.
Holy moly!!! What a stunning display of this beautiful, beautiful flower!!! Heaven!!!
Might be earwigs.
Wow! Your garden is amazing!
Hi Dorry. Take a look at my video “How Geoff and Heather grow dahlias”.
I’m obsessed with dahlias. This is literally my dream garden. Wonderful job! It’s absolutely breathtaking. I hope to own a home someday so i can do this.
This year I’ve planted some from bulb . So excited 😆
Lovely to see this chap so happy with his garden x
Your garden is absolutely gorgeous !!!
Beautiful, you did an amazing job. I love your passion, my favorite flower as well.
We MIGHT be opening on 6 and 13 September 2020, but it will depend on the Covid rules at the time. See NGS.org.uk the week before
Wow they say cut out the middle stem , but he cuts off the two outside stems so his blooms are bigger. I’m so confused now lol.
What do you do in the winter, I was told I would have to dig them up for the winter. Surely you don’t dig all of those up, what’s your secret, lovely garden though
This year I have a virus in my Dahlias.
I don’t know what has caused it & will have to replace next year & start from scratch.
I am concerned that the ground will be contaminated where the Dahlias have been.
Stunning garden!
WOW I want to be in his garden. I love dahlias brings tears of joy to my heart I would love to lean how to grow dahlia like him
Any chance I can visit please 😀

I’m told that there are earwig insecticides available in the USA, but I don’t know of any in the UK. So I’m afraid there’s no easy way apart from vigilance!
Geoff. What a show off of just one species of plants given to us by our Creator. fascinated by loving and tender care for your garden. Hoping if Covid allows could visit your garden in 2021 if you would be allowing visitors then.
Yes, I dig them up. See my video “How Geoff and Heather grow dahlias”.
I thought I had clicked on a video that would teach me how to grow Dahlias. I certainly have no regrets! If there is a heaven, this is what it looks and feels like!
Gorgeous garden 🌹
Love love love your dahlias, what an amazing display you have. Beautiful job!❤️
OMG….so stunning. I am just starting a dahlia garden….have ordered about 20 different varieties of dahlia bulbs and also growing Cacti Dahlia from seeds. I love gardening, very excited…..
