I live in SE PA. Since I've been living here our planting zone has gone from 6 to 7. Usually by the beginning of June we have temperatures in the mid 80's into the 90's. The nights average 60 degrees F. This year we have had highly variable temperatures. Three days of 70's to the 80's with 45 degree nights. Then we got a run of 50–60-degree days with high 30's to mid 40's at night, Only in the last week of June did the temperatures even out. I just planted my dahlia tubers and it is July 1st. Will I get anything close to a bloom this year? This is the first time I have planted dahlias.
