Re: Chocolate cosmos

     I guess I would recommend that you pull them up and check the roots.  
     It sounds like they're not really "taking."  I always lose mine after 
     about a year, but my soil is really heavy clay and they can't take 
     drowning in the winter.  Before that, though, they've always been very 
     happy, upright and fragrant.  It's possible there are air pockets or 
     other problems around the roots created at planting time.

anyone with any experience growing chocolate cosmos?  This is my second try 
adn even though they are in a well drained, full sun location with ample 
water, and a healthy layer of mulch, they seem to be droopy and just 
basically unhappy.  I have no faith that they will last out the month, and 
they've only been in teh ground about a 5 weeks.  What's wrong?

So goes an old chinese proverb:
         If you want to be happy for a few hours, get drunk; 
         If you want to be happy for a week-end get married; 
         If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
