Hi Cinda, thanks, yes I did save the tubers, can't bare letting them rot in the ground, and who knows maybe they'll improve with age?? I have plenty of pots so even if I run out of ground or raised bed space i'll put the saved tubers somewhere. I'll probably thin them out this year after I see how they do.
Still working on creating garden areas at my "project house" an abandoned house i've been fixing up for years, my rental house has no gardening area, and I would like to have some established gardens by the time we move into the house.
Some of those were pretty basic but all were nice, some more interesting. Whats fun is waiting for new plants to bloom from seed not knowing what they'll look like! I started a few inside early last year but the majority of those were just grown in beds just like zinnias. I'm starting more inside this year as well, along with other flowers seeds and a bunch of coneflowers. I'll have a few 4x8 raised beds in the backyard for growing the seed dahlias. I have 5 6x8 & 4x8 raised beds in the backyard just for zinnias & dahlias, trying to draw in the butterflies with a few big zinnia beds! And I use these beds for cutting as well.
