This is the time people get out into the garden and would like to see something besides green foliage and brown dirt. The Gardener that is on top of thing has already planted bulbs and annuals like pansies, Snaps and Iceland Poppies. If you happen to be one of those that forgot or just didn't get around to i, you can still catch up. We carry potted daffodils and tulips and Ranunculus for you to pop-in for some early spring color and you can still get the annuals in. Yes, if you put them in in the fall they would be well established and already blooming, but if you plant now you can still get a great show.
This picture if from my garden last spring. It contains Iceland Poppies with a few patches of Snaps at the back against the rocks with some pansies up out of sight on the fill. To get the best results you need to do it right. That means getting the soil in condition with Masters PaydirtMaster Start before you plant at the rate of one bag per flat of flowers and an early start with at planting and Rose and Flower Food every two weeks three or four times. You don't have time to waste so do it right the first time. |
