I used to almost never post on reddit, but on here I have been posting OC content, commenting and I have even created a community (https://lemmy.world/c/cancer)

I’m glad that it worked! Please feel free to post to the community, it is going to need content to grow and for people to be able to find it more easily.

Glad you were able to post, your garden looks great! Are those beans on the right?

https://lemmy.world/c/cancer does this link work for you?

This might be it, I think OP is on lemm.ee as well

Are you using an app to try and upload? For some reason wefwef won’t upload pictures for me either (not just in this community but in others as well). Liftoff (another app) or the browser do work for me. Which is a shame since so far I’m liking wefwef the most for browsing, finding communities and commenting.

Let me know if this solves the problem for you as well!

I have created a community here (its called cancer just like the subreddit), all we need is more people. You are not alone

Should have known these kind of jokes were coming, you can always count on the internet to make every pun possible.

Thanks! Please post pictures when your dahlia blooms, they’re such pretty flowers!

Internet told me that they might be, I did some reading when I got them last year. But so far I haven’t found them to be too difficult. I started them inside in pots last year so they were already a bit bigger when I planted them outside as the plants don’t like cold much.

But this year I just cut of the stems and left the bulbs in the ground the entire winter (you can also dig them out of the ground and keep the bulbs inside to protect them from the cold), as we get mild winters over here. And all of the bulbs have sprouted againt this year.

I find snails and slugs like them quite a lot, especially the small plants, so if you have a lot of those it might be wise to start the plants inside. They flower from summer to fall, and I’ve found that they flower for longer and with more flowers if you pinch out the tops of the small plants and remove wilted flowers.

I’d definitely recommend them!

I honestly have no idea. I bought a variety pack of 8 bulbs last year at my local gardening centre and the packaging was just labled with “Dahlias”. Most looked very similar to this one but different colors, sorry wish I could be more helpful.
