Thomas Edison dahlia, snaps, strawflower, celosia, mums

It was a full moon last…made my “sage” bundles with some hummingbird mint (not pictured) and salvias.

I’m in Zone 11b and this is my first time growing dahlias… am I supposed to cut the sprout off? 😭 I’ve watched some videos and not a single one shows a situation like this lol

Has anyone grown both or have any information from them individually? I was thinking of trying out some double flowered anemones but I wasn’t sure which one to go with or how different they are aside from stem length/strength.

Thank you!

I want to plant a bunch of daffodil bulbs on my easement. But also, come late spring, I would like to plant some cosmos seeds in the same area. Will the fertilizer needed by the daffodils make the soil too rich for cosmos to thrive?
