Knowledge:
Planting in a Drought
If you missed the online seminar about how to plant lawns, containers
and pansies even in drought, it is
still available for your viewing pleasure. Theresa and I covered
what should be basic knowledge and practice for every gardener - but
sometimes you need a little push to actually do.
I featured my own pansy planting bed and showed a new tip on using
newspaper for an under-mulch. My pansies are thriving...and I've
watered them only once since I planted them!
See how I did it

Perennial succulent hybrid of garden origin. Autumn Joy is
probably the most popular and widely sold of all the showy sedums.
