I scour the beds each day for any sign of a sprout.

Welcome to my world...!

Then you need to scour the beds each day for slugs, the second the shoots come up, the slugs nip them off.😱

Hosta, didn’t you save any of the big orange one I gave you.?

Brilliant, I’m so glad they survived the winter.

I have beer traps a plenty in my beds and very little slug damage (so far)on any of my young tender plants so I am 98% sure that mine are AWOL and have not been eaten. Janie B That is great news, so pleased your sprout search was fruitful!

I've just google imaged'd dahlia labyrinth and they all seem much darker,

True, but I have found a few images of a Labyrinth that does match the colour tone. This one is exactly them same as mine

I dug over a patch on Friday and came across a dahlia tuber that I'd left in! It has loads of shoots on it - so replanted! All my potted dahlias are now sprouting or growing well (even a couple that I nearly chucked out a couple of weeks ago!) ... (GL54 area).

That is really good to know, there is hope for mine yet!!
