Dahlia addiction leads to a lot of planting

I don’t know when my fascination with dahlias started, but by May I knew it had gone too far.

I was arranging pots of dahlias in the temporary greenhouse erected in the back yard every year to give annuals get a jump on the season and curiosity got the better of me. I started counting. When the number reached well in to the 80s I realized that, including the tubers that I had in storage to plant directly into the ground, I’d be planting triple-digit numbers of dahlias this year.

Where does a gardener plant that many dahlias? Pretty much everywhere.
