THURSDAY, MAY 5, 2005 THE NEW TANNER MES. SPECIALS Pansies - 'feel good' flower Pansies, with their burst of colour and happy faces, herald the start of spring planting. As soon as you can dig the soil in your garden, you can start thinking about your color choices and planting pansies as a garden border, full beds, or in containers. Whether it's an array of color and shape or a specific color treatment to complement a certain theme white, red, and purple and some have variations and blends of these colors. Use color to your advantage. If you plant yellow pansies, for example, these blooms can be seen from far away, or they can lighten up a dormant corner. Whether looking for color for a border or a rock gar- den, pansies are the 'feel good' flowers with their happy, welcoming 'faces.' For inspiration for your garden design or planting information, go-to your local nursery. or holiday, pansies are the hardy flower to start your spring gardening efforts. Pansies grow well if you work slow- release fertilizer into the soil prior to planting, or use liquid fertilizer at the time of planting and every two weeks thereafter to encour- age more blooming. And, of course, regular watering keeps the plants from drying out. In most cases, you would plant them 6 inches apart, as they grow from 6 to 8 inches tall. And, if you plant your summer annuals around your pansies, as the pansies get "'leggy'.and your summer annuals get bigger and fuller, you'll have a colorful garden from early spring until fall. Most pansies come in vari- ous shades of yellow, blue, Dave Leslie 905-702-3738 Ce Oe ea Industrial + Commercial + Residentiat RENOVATIO Dept. Up-grades 'onditioning Up-grades.
