You cut the stem and stuck it in dirt and it didn't die? Never heard of that. Well you get the "earliest bloom" award for sure. I am slowly getting my dahlias and annuals. In some cases the beds have to be dug up well and things moved before planting in new stuff. A few experiments. I was so tickled, I who cannot keep an agachsta alive over winter for love nor money, grew one from seed. It cannot be 2" tall and has the tiniest little flower (maybe a bud) I have ever seen.

My back is shot from digging, raking and hoeing but very slowly things are looking better. The house is painted and I am over the fact that they stepped on many plants. Dahlias especially. Thomas Edison is gone along with Kelvin Floodlight. I am leaving the tubers in the ground to at least perhaps save them. They were my biggest plants. Oh the pain. But the house looks good and we can slowly get the yards and decks back in order.
