Garden question:)
So what do you do about planting summer flowers where your pansies are?
My pansies are still really really pretty, they have really gotten large. But I know they will die out, just not sure if they will die out in time to get the summer flowers in? I hate just pulling them up when they are looking so nice. I’ve planted a few things among them, but they take up a good portion of the planting area.
What to do?

Move them to a different place?

Got the trailer back, and the money for it :~) They did a fine job... not factory perfect, but a nice repair.
I always face that same dilemma every year too. What I do is to start some marigold seeds in a bunch of spare pots and then transplant them when I pull the pansies up sometime in May. You can pull a full-grown marigold out of the ground and plant it somewhere else and it'll do fine. They're virtually indestructable. If I want anything else in there, I just go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get something that's already pretty good sized. So I guess you could say that I cheat. What I've thought about doing is starting a full blown "transplant gargen" somewhere else, kinda out of sight, and use it to get stuff started so that I can move it to the patio garden later.
