Your neighbors apparently need to get a life of their own.

Indeed. But here in Northern California, four homes are shoved onto
the space that holds one in other parts of the country, so the
neighbors are a bit more "in your face" here than in some regions.

Doug, those hoops do look pretty pleasing to the eye, but at $12.95 per
hoop, I think I wouldn't have any dough left to buy tubers! :{

Try that (giving some to your neighbors); you will find that it soothes even the snootiest of neighbors.

Good advice, Bill. So do you find that the tomato cages are sufficient
to support the dahlias without them tumbling over? I usually find that
the tomato cages aren't even sufficient for tomatoes! :P

So Vox, Presely, how do you use the fence posts/rebar with the dahlias?
Do you use one per plant and tie the dahlias to them as they grow? Or
do you use a couple to surround the plant, using string or baling wire
every few inches as supports?

Thanks for the input!
