Dig up dahlias –
Preparing them for Winter ~
Some have turned to mush.
Dig up dahlias –
Preparing them for Winter ~
Some have turned to mush.
Chill Autumn morning –
Night’s rainfall has left its mark ~
Jewelled surprises.
An audacious snail –
Sits drunk on my dahlias ~
I leave him to it.
Dahlias in bloom –
Not as many as last year ~
Each a little star.
First dahlia bloom –
Slugs have found it already ~
Slimy feckless rogues.
Dahlia patrol –
Torchlight falls on slugs and snails ~
Evacuate them.
Potting Dahlias –
A different type of work ~
Pleasantly thought free.
