this is a kind of sad times here in the South, it is pansy time. To plant the pasies, I have to pull up some of the old flowers that still have sum flowers on them. The zinnias looked already kind of dead so they had to go, but some of the yellow cosmos is still hanging on. I noticed they drop hundred of seeds and I have lotso of small plants coming up. Hope they survive the Winter, so I can plant them all around the garden. Most of the pansies are planted in the front, but beyond the picket fence I plant them in pots. I have planted a 8 feet tall River burch 5 years ago, now we had to cut the top of because it was reaching the tallest electric wires. I tought they where slow growing trees. This is the proof that it payes to study before you plant. Etelka
