Summertime and Fall Dahlia's

There are many more than the 64 varieties of Dahlia's that we are going to post from the previous summer time, I had hoped to do this months ago, but it has taken a lot of time to go through everything and make sure we are not doubling up. I am going to start by posting up photos of different strains of Dahlia's, once we get all the pictures online, I will go through and lable them with the appropriate tag. Here is the first small batch...

Garden 2023, edible flowers

2 types of nasturtiums, orange and yellow flowers. Thnik most of the time this year they were used in cold salads. Then you have the zucchini/squash blossomes that we ususally use a lot, stuffing and then frying and or steaming, we just didnt do to much with them this year. They were more decorational, growing up and around our front door frame. Lastly, there is the fennel. Haley uses a lot of fennel and dill for her butterflies and caterpillars, I get left the leftovers. Generally, its best to just let them go to seed for the next year. See what happens. They also act well to attract pollenators of all shapes and sizes. You can never have enough Dill and or Fennel planted and growing around the garden.
