Begonias and dahlias
Hi
on the 27th of last month planted quite alot of begonia and dahlia corms none of which have thus far shown any signs of growth. Being somewhat new to gardening of this nature (of any nature really) I have no idea when to expect this, however I have also planted iris, anenomes, gladioli, ranunculus, scented lilies all of which have produced shoots plus all of these plants by the way went in the ground after the begonias and dahlias. I hope somebody can reassure me this is normal many thanks regards Simon |

Our Dahlias just went out last weekend; they were in the greenhouse and are only just getting going (shoots 6 inches high); seems late this year. My guess is that if we had planted them out in the open beofre this, they would not have shown yet. Des in Dublin -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |

Funnily enough my first begonia was showing this morning, although still no sign of any dahlias. I'm in North Nottinghamshire by the way. Judging by what you say its hardly suprising as I put the corms directly into the ground, they have been nowhere near a greenhouse regards Simon |
