Have several more colors of both dahlias and glads to open. I'm thinking it will be worth the trouble of digging them up this fall and replanting next year!

I would definately say it's worth the trouble - those are all beauties!
Wow, your garden is beautiful! I love the petunias.
Those dahlias are just gorgeous!
Thanks Zoey - yeah, think I'm going to be a busy girl this fall...
Thanks myutopia. I love petunias too - sometimes I think I should skip them and try something else, but I always end up getting at least a few!
Thanks iowa gardening woman - I am loving the dahlias - wonder why I waited so many years to try them??
I am looking for additional 1/2 barrels. My source is out of business. Where can I find them on line?
Hi Candy
I bought my half barrels at Menard's - they were about $20 each, if I remember correctly. They're the real wood - I know some garden centers sell resin ones (for a lot more).
I've never seen them on the net, so I can't really be any help there - sorry!
