4 The Canadianl Statesmnan, Biowmanville, May 24, 1978 Section two Well Known Bûroadcaster Visita, Van Be11e's stocky plants will give you the best resuits, because they probably are already "hardened off" (exposed to a cooler temperature so they will adapt quicker ini the soil or garden outside) and will transplant easier because the roots are in a better condition to take hold in the soil. To prepare a bed for annuals it is wise to dig over the soul to depth of 6 inches then add sorne peatmoss to the soul, by spreading this over the dug area at the rate of 1 inch over the whole area and then add some plantfood to the Soul either in the forrn of manure such as sheep or cow manure or use a general purpose -garden fertilizer such as a 5-10-15, then dig this slightly into the soul and rake the soil level, go you see exactly where the annual plants can be planted. 1 always plan where 1 arn going to plant, if it is a complete annual bed with different plants and different heights always work it out on paper, then you will know eypetly what to buy, and where to place them, a good example would be a flower bed filled wîth flowers that can be used for cutting and using a variety of different annuals. We would Slace the tail zinnia at the ack then follow up with a row of snapdragons followed by a row of asters, then bordered with the srnall petite rnarigolds or the dwarf snapdragon, you can use your own imagination to corne up with different patterns. For a circle bed which is to be filled only with annuals, place sorne Canna's in the centre, then a row of salvia,' then a row of zinnia's (shorter variety) or a row of carnations or asters then follow up with petunia 's and if space permits a row of white or purpie alyssurn, or the white or blue aR9eraturn. A you can see -there ,are multiple ways of planting an annual flower bed, but plan first then lay out the plants in the soil. It is always wise to water the plants in wîth a starter solution of Upstart or the other plant starters such as Transplanter, this will give thern a faster start and will result in a better growth. Some of the annuals that will do well in the shade are t he impatiens, coleus and tuberous begonia's, and in the sun almost ail the other annual plants will give you excellent resuits.
