STARTING MY POTS


The past few days have been good garden days. Our night time temperatures, here in are pretty much above 50`. I began to plant some of my more-hardy container plants. Some of my winter pansies remain as fillers as the new annuals go in. Keep in mind the design concept of needing a thriller, the tall plant that dramatically catches ones eye; a spiller, short plants that cascade over the side of the pot; and a filler, all those in between. As you begin planting, place the plants in the pots so when you later add some tropicals and more tender annuals everything is in the correct place. Planning is the key!
