I would appreciate advice on how to make a proper holding bed. This spring I ordered some mail order iris. From past experience, knowing they wouldn't be shipped much before the ground freezes, I picked up some bargain dahlias and planted them where the iris were to go, figuring I would have them dug up before the iris came.

All this was before I found out about DG and all you generous people! So what is the best thing to do with the lovely rz? I really don't want to pull the dahlias, which are just starting to bloom! :) I have lots of room now in my vegetable garden. Just don't know the best way to keep my new babies happy. Kay
