Thanks for the torenia seed information, critter. Maybe I'll try collecting the seed and sow it in a cold frame in the spring. I don't have a lot of indoor growing space and I have a good local nursery that carries a large selection of interesting annuals in the spring at reasonable prices so it is easier to just buy the instant color. It's not as much fun to buy rather then sow the seeds yourself but I always have a time crunch in the spring.

Lucky you wonderearth to have a long growing season. I'll have to remember Annies Annuals for next spring.

I do have a question about how you all handle the fall filler planting. The torenia, callibrochoa and other annuals all look good now but I know once the frost hits they'll die. So do I pull them out now and put in the winter pansies? Do you pot the summer annuals you pull out to keep them going to the bitter end?
