Fantastic! @Hostafan1 I can see how that could easily happen! I wasn't quite as naughty as you but I have a much smaller garden and I intend to experiment with taking cuttings from my dahlias this year 😉
Lovely Wonky, I look forward to seeing the results of your experiment. I guess most gardeners like experimenting and today is the day when I'm having a bash with the snowdrops. I've potted 4 up separately, nivalis and beluga and they should both be open enough to pollinate so fingers crossed they produce seed. I hope I live long enough to see the results.
Are the dahlia's labeled in the bag @WonkyWomble ? I've grown a couple of them natal small pom pom flowers nice colour but flowers were to small for my taste , and wittemans best really nice I've bought another tuber this year.
My latest goodies from B&Q reduced section (no Dahlias left - I think someone's been there before me ).
I was going to try V. bonariensis from seed this year to bulk them up, but I think those £1 pots will split into 3 or 4 plants each so I won't bother buying seed.

My problem is seeds. I can't stop. I entered all my seed packets into an excel spreadsheet on the weekend also entering how many packets of each seed which I have downloaded to my phone. I will now be able to refer to it when I'm out and about and not add yet another packet of chilli seeds or whatever to the 7 packets I aleady have
My dahlias came from lidl @Perki, jumped in the trolley when I was food shopping!! Unfortunately not labelled in the bag so I've just kept the pack and labelled the type and we will have to see what comes!!
I think I may have to get to B and q @JennyJ!!!! Although it's replacing the pond liner is my first job and it's going to be a big one!
@SonnieB that's organised of you, I'm impressed!!! Trouble is seeds are so full of promise it's hard to resist!!
I picked up a prostrate rosemary in a pot from lidl. It just tipped me over #100 for the month, so 2 voucher means it really only cost 2.99 Thats my justification anyway.

That sounds like a mucky job .
I never go in B&Q just for plants (honest!) and chances are if I did, there wouldn't be anything I wanted, but I always look when I'm there for something else. It's the most convenient DIY place for us. I'll be in a different branch on Friday because my Dad wants me to take him for some compost, so I'll definitely be looking at their reduced plants rack!
