Garden

[wismiss]

Our local garden spot has drive up service.  I phoned ahead and ordered 12 pansy plants.  Told them the colors I wanted and drove out there to get them.  They took the money through an open window and put them in the trunk.  But, I can't plant them right away because we are supposed to have snow!!!!  But, she said by Wednesday it would be OK to plant them outside.

Seems like spring now that I have my pansies.

Pansies are planted in the winter in the south.

Lucky you! Our governor insists on our nurseries remain closed. Not considered a necessity.

@ID2   Ours are open because they also sell local produce.

In our state the garden spot is considered agricultural so they can be open.  However, it will be completely different in that we won't be able to get out of the car and pick out our own flowers, but at least they are available.

They are being pretty strict and nit-picky with us. If my grocery store has a garden section, its roped off and forbidden. Same with the sale of paint.

You are so lucky, I was thinking about pansies a couple of days ago, what a happy little flower!

@D Kay    We plant pansies in the wintertime in New Mexico too, although it gets quite cold.  Doesn't seem to kill them even with temps in low 20s every night.  As soon as it heats up for summer, the pansies die.

Our greenhouse hasn't been able to get their plants shipped yet, but they have opened and should be full throttle by May 1. We're getting snow in central Wisconsin in the next few days so planting will take awhile.

That's so nice @wismiss 😊 They'll be ready when you and Mother Nature are.  I'd love for you to post some pictures if/when you can.  

I really enjoy having flowers in my yard.  Right now my roses and azaleas are blooming, and I planted some lilies earlier today.  I've never planted pansies, but my neighbors do in the colors you posted:  purple, yellow, and white.  So pretty!
