Stan, I would sat that it's far too early to put dahlias outside ,you need to wait 'til there is no frost risk. Your profile doesn't state where you are, but mine don't go out until mid may so pot yours on and keep frost protected. I feed my planting hole a handful of chicken pellets and a sprinkle of BF&B.
