i missed this post. hugging goats is the best ever. when i used to work in this small natural foods store, i would beg the guy who delivered our goat milk to bring some baby goats. every once in a while he would come with a truck full of baby goats and i would run outside and pick them up and carry them around for as long as i could get away with. oh they are the sweetest little babies.
please tell me about your dahlias. what kind of maintenance do you have to do with them? i don't know any one in new orleans who has them, but i think they would do good here. a friend of dazee's from work, let me and my friend becky go to his house yesterday. he has an amazing garden and he gave me all kinds of cool cuttings. have you ever heard of night blooming cereus?? it's really cool, i just need to get it rooted.
i love goats. the babies are the cutest thing ever. I want one.
My dahlias are really easy. I dont dig them up or anything. The first year you plant them, they may or may not do anything. The next year they will bloom. They multiply pretty well. WE had a very dry spring so their blooms were smaller than usual. They can be 8-10" blooms.I feed them compost and they love it. One stalk of dahlias that is one of my originals, has had at least 10 or 15 blooms on it so far. They do get top heavy so you have to stake them or put them in a tomato cage. Thats all. I love to cut them and bring them to people. Just one bloom by itself is so big and so beautiful.
One of my friends has the night blooming cereus. But I have never seen them bloom in real life, just photos.
