The weather is finally cooling off. Now is when I start planting my winter flowers. Depending on the weather, planting too soon can let a lot of flowers stretch too much.

At the nursery we have started replanting our flower beds with the planters at the entrance to the nursery. Next will be the beds at the street. When you drive by keep an eye out for what we are doing.

In addition Katy and the rest of the bedding staff are starting to redo our display pots and gardens inside the nursery.

At home I have planted a few snaps and soon some pansies, primroses, and Iceland poppies.

Last year Donna and I waited too long and most of the flowers didn’t really perform until spring. One year is enough.
