You know, they sell them here for spring flowers, and lots of times that's all they are good for..but I have always kept my pansies for the whole summer. Even in Mass, my pansies always pissed people off.. lol.

I don't even sing to them.....lol. (maybe that's why?)

What's your secret, Gran? Mine look bad already, and haven't been planted just since Saturday.

I had to replant my rose pot and all, doing a 'soft plant' deal.
A huge hole partially filled with medium bark mulch chunks filling most of the hole around the pot, some dirt on top of that to the edge of the pot, and then some mulch on top of that to a depth of three inches.
It's a temporary planting, largely due to the fact that I couldn't get it out of it's pot.
And due to the pot I had to use the bark chunks to make it easier to get back out when the time comes.
Hopefully it'll live.
But I was skeptical that it'd live in a pot, but it did.
