I got married immediately after graduation at age 21 (like not even 30 days later) and have been married ever since (to the same man). So THANK GOD I don’t teach your children! I have a degree from Purdue University in English Secondary Education, but I do not know where commas go. I have lived in Durham, NC for 15 years.Ī little about your self `ie your education Family life etc Missed the boat? Don’t worry, you can also buy rooted tubers in early spring, and more established plants from April to June.I grew up in a two-stoplight town in Indiana.

If you're buying tubers at the garden centre, check that they are large and plump, with no signs of rot or mould.

Check that you have the right conditions to grow dahlias – they like a sheltered, sunny spot.So check the plant's ultimate size before you buy. Bear in mind that dahlias come in different sizes – some are dwarf types, suitable for bedding displays, others are medium-sized and good for pots, while some are large and better suited to a large border or cutting patch.

Here's our advice for buying dahlias from the right type for your garden: Most garden centres have a good selection but for the best range, buy online from nurseries and specialist growers. Dahlia tubers are available to buy from February.
