Sez 🌻Beginner Friendly Gardening Tips

Why am I so sad 😭 Until Next Year, My Dahlia Friends 🌸

The autumn light is fading fast, The summer days are gone, And now I face the saddest task As daylight lingers on.

I gather up your fading blooms, Your petals soft and dear, Remembering the joy you brought Throughout the brighter year.

I cut you down with heavy heart, Then gently lift the ground, And dig your precious tubers up, Where summer dreams are found.

Each clump I cradle in my hands, Each root a memory, Of colours dancing in the sun, And blooms that danced with me.

I’ll brush the earth from every root, And tuck you safely in, In boxes filled with winter rest, Till spring comes round again.

So sleep now, my dear dahlia friends, Let winter have its way, Dream of sunshine, rain-washed earth, And a warm, bright summer’s day.

Though my garden feels so empty now, And my heart is feeling blue, I know this isn’t really goodbye, Just a pause between me and you.

For underneath the winter’s chill, New life will wait unseen, And soon enough I’ll see your shoots Push through the earth so green.

Until next year, my dahlia friends, Rest peacefully till spring. I’ll miss you more than words can say, Till we meet again, my lovely things. 🌸💗
