Spring Seedlings 2020 - Finally time to plant them out in the garden.

Last weekend was the last cold snap in Melbourne, so it was finally time to plant these tiny seedlings in the garden. The weather is warm and gentle enough for the seedlings to survive. And they are so eager to be outdoor, the zucchini and pumpkin seedlings are tall and robust.

Dahlia Tubers Harvest and Storing for Next Spring

The Dahlia plants were ready to be cleared. This is the first time I harvested the tubers as they have grown into a big clump and had popped out of the ground. So I thought they need bigger space for next Spring. In the space of roughly 25x80cm, there were this amount of tubers:

So, they were overcrowded. After cleaning and dividing I stored some for next Spring and put up the remaining for sale.

Ready for storing:

I put a thin layer of soil at the bottom of this box. Place the tubers and covered them with more soil. Ready for storing in dark and dry spot over winter.

These are the actual Dahlia plants:
