First time dahlia grower in Massachusetts! Started these tubers inside and starting to get some shoots. Does this look normal after planting on April 14? One was extremely dry and worse for wear but decided to pot it and see what happens. Seems to have a shoot? Photo 3. TIA!

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

Varieties are from local nursery. Dinner Plate and Little Robert

This is what they looked like out of the bag
There is no evidence of gall. You have healthy shoots. If you have slugs or snails, get a product to protect the new shoots.
