Color Army
Right now, at HMB Nursery, there is a myriad of 4″ annuals. We are finally coming out of the age of red and white holiday bullshit, and headed – trowel first – into Spring.
I spent my morning sinking 4″ dark blue pansies in the ground, amongst some California poppies, and adjacent a giant blueberry in mid hibernation. I love planting this size, since it’s so easy to quickly fill in an area in your garden with color. I kneel, dig, plop out said annual, plop in the ground and cover.
I can plant a pansy in under 5 seconds – give or take clay soil. It’s one of my many dark gifts.

Wow, look at all those pansies!!
I’m so envious! It will be AT LEAST two months till I’m planting pansies.
pansies are cool. just their name alone!
So nice great colors! For us winter is just getting here. Hopefully the flowers here will survive until spring.
We are really lucky around here.. we’ve actually had late 60′s degree weather! I’m planting more today…
Janine: I agree! I think last year I did a post around this time called, “Pansy Ass”.
I have a need for some pansies. A seriously longly-like need! They inevitably become the flower that gets me through until spring….. I cna’t wait for spring!
