Oh Wow! And I can't even get the supposed rebloomers
to rebloom when they're in the ground. I wish I could
say, honestly, that I had forgotten a bag full but
that would be a lie. I am a world-class
procrastinator and I have a bunch sitting around just
waiting to be planted. I won't say how long! But I
have had a situation like this before and found that
they were very prone to rot after planting. Anyone
out there have any suggestions re: planting methods to
achieve the best results? Our summer sun is beating
down now and I wouldn't even plant healthy plants out
in the beds right now. I usually pot up plants that I
receive in the heat of summer and wait 'til late fall
to put them out, but sickly plants tend to rot or just
fade away in the pots. The mix I use drains very
well, too much? Any suggestions??
