My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Dahlia bulbs from Aldi

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

I bought 2 dahlia bulbs for $1.69 each @ Aldi back in the beginning of March & potted them up. Both were growing vigorously & getting ready to bloom when I went out of town for 12 days, & Hubby was in charge of watering, & I mistakenly put 1 pot in a deep basin to prevent it from drying out too fast, & it rotted out. But the flowers turned out to be an ugly color anyway & this one more than makes up for that loss. Blooms are approx. 7 inches across! I cannot find the original package, but I think it's 'Vancouver', since my browser history shows I searched for that...
