Not sure how the calendula tastes, though.Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06688998982401190738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971186287364752182.post-44674116096693351482014-05-24T17:58:37.169-07:002014-05-24T17:58:37.169-07:00Yay!

They're coming up in the same bed were the grape hyacinths have just finished, and where deep purple volunteer pansies are having a good time of it, so they make a nice contrast with all that purple :3<br /><br />I think I'm going to see if I can convince H to try preparing some of the dahlias with me. The articles I've seen say there's a lot of variation in how flavorful they are, so it's definitely a gamble! But we'll see how it goes. Maybe they'll turn out to be one of the good kinds!Laylahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09139438708495730874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971186287364752182.post-5307838957356073112014-05-24T10:24:30.227-07:002014-05-24T10:24:30.227-07:00Looks like calendula to me.

I think they like the cool temps, a thing zinnias do not.<br />As for the tiller thriller (just catching up with comments here) I share your distaste for those things. They buck like wild horses without being anywhere near as beautiful. It's true that they can chew up dirt faster than a shovel. And anything that can reduce the backbreaking part of gardening is worth trying. So, good luck with all of that.<br />Don't know if I'd be keen to eat a dahlia tuber though. Maybe I'm missing out. Always good to know what's safe to eat at any rate. Come the apocalypse...IronMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763868134564679152noreply@blogger.com
