In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dahlia is a large plant family, and you'll need to decide which size of plant will best suit your growing space. Unlike other popular flowers, dahlias come in three main categories: large (including the popular "Dinnerplate" variety), medium, and small. The size of both the blossoms and the overall plant will vary depending on which type you choose. Dahlia flowers also come in a wide array of colors, including white, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, red, or multi-colored. Large dahlias can grow from 34 feet (11.2 meters) tall. Medium dahlias (also known as border dahlias) will reach between 12 feet (0.30.6 meters) in height. Small dahlias will only reach between 1020 inches (2550 cm) in height. You should be able to find dahlia tubers for sale at any reputable plant nursery or garden center. Due to the variety and diversity among types of dahlias, be sure to ask the sales staff for assistance, or read the label on the package carefully. They'll be able to help you determine which tubers will produce the size and color of blossoms you are looking for. If you live in a remote location and do not have access to a nearby plant nursery, you can purchase the dahlia tubers online instead. Check the websites for major online plant retailers including Eden Brothers, Dahlia Barn, Dahlias.com, or Harris Seeds. Dahlias can be grown in many climates, but the tubers will need to be kept indoors during the winter in colder areas. Dahlias thrive in warm, sunny climates, and will survive the winter as tubers in zones 8 and 9. If you live in the United States, this means that dahlias will not survive the winter if you live north of Kansas and east of western Idaho. If you live in zones 16, you will need to plant your dahlias in a greenhouse or at least store your dahlia tubers inside during the winter. Dahlias don't do well in long, hot summers, so if you live in zone 10, you may need to cover outdoor dahlias or bring them indoors in summer. If you live in zone 7, dahlias may be able to survive an outdoor winter if you insulate the soil over the tubers with a thick layer of dry mulch. Wait to plant dahlias until your region no longer has a threat of frost. If you have a thermometer that can be used to measure ground temperature, that can guide your planting time. Do not plant the dahlias if the ground temperature is below 60F (16C), or the dahlias may not grow. If you plant the dahlias too early (e.g. in March or April) and another frost comes, the tubers will die.
Summary: Determine which of the dahlia varieties you would like to grow. Purchase fresh dahlia tubers. Decide where to plant your dahlias based on your climate zone. Plant dahlias late in the spring.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The amount of water should be enough to fully cover the seaweed. For a crunchier salad, soak the seaweed for 5 minutes. For tender salad, soak the seaweed for 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the seaweed into a strainer, then shake it to get rid of any excess water. Gently squeeze handfuls of seaweed until no more water comes out. Sometimes, the seaweed already comes cut, but if it doesn't, you'll need to cut it yourself. Use a shape knife to slice it into -inch (1.27-centimeter) wide strips. Set the seaweed aside when you are done. Pour the rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil into a serving bowl. Add the sugar, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Mix everything together with a fork or mini whisk until the sugar dissolves. You can leave out the red pepper flakes if you'd prefer a less-spicy salad. If you don't have any sugar, you can use agave nectar instead. Place the seaweed into the bowl. Add the scallions, carrots, cilantro, and sesame seeds. If you want to try something different, switch out the carrots for a small, tart apple cut into -inch (0.64-centimeter) pieces. You can also omit the apples/carrots entirely. Be sure to scoop the ingredients from the bottom of the bowl so that you distribute the dressing evenly. It tastes best while it's cold, but you can serve it at room temperature too. If you have any leftovers, cover them, and store them in the fridge for up to four days.
Summary:
Soak seaweed in water. Drain the water from the seaweed. Cut seaweed into thinner strips, if needed. Make the dressing. Add the seaweed and the rest of the ingredients. Toss the salad. Serve the salad.
