Dahlia Growing Tips
Dahlias may look exotic, but in terms of care they are similar to other tuber or bulb flowers. Dahlia is a tuberous plant that blooms in summer, therefore tubers should be planted in spring, when frost is no longer expected at night.
Location and soil. The more sun dahlias receive, the more beautifully they will grow and bloom. Choose a sunny location. Dahlias require fertile, humus-rich soil with good drainage. For each tuber, dig a hole about 30 cm in diameter and add compost or other fertile soil. Excessively wet soil is unsuitable, as tubers may begin to rot.
Growing Microgreens
What are microgreens
Microgreens are young edible seedlings harvested shortly after germination, usually within 7–18 days, when the first true leaves have developed. They are aromatic, flavorful, and rich in biologically active nutrients. Microgreens are commonly used in salads, sandwiches, juices, and as an attractive garnish for various dishes.
