I know nothing about dahlias, but I fancy growing some this year to
enter in the local village show, but only for a bit of fun, nothing
serious.

Ask the show secretary what the schedule names as the different classes.

Is there a difference between exhibition dahlias and dahlias that you
buy at the garden centre (such as the Taylors' bulb packs), or does it
not really matter?

I know it's only for fun, but I don't want to look too much of an idiot!

One of urg's members, David Hill, is a Dahlia specialist and owns a
nursery in Wales.

I wondered who was responsible for all the earwigs in my garden...

Lobbing them over the fence is he? *He's a horror, that man...... *;-)
