There is no more cheerful way to welcome guests as they walk towards your front door than by situating pansies with their jowly, whiskered faces on either side of the entryway.
They are also excellent candidates for containers if you are wary of planting pansies in the ground because of their susceptibility to soil fungus diseases. No bigger mistake can be made than planting pansies in soil where they died prematurely, whether you planted them last week or last year. I have seen fall-planted pansies endure until the following June so they are not naturally short-lived.
2. If you have not already taken measures that promote fire safety, especially if your residence backs up to a wilderness area, do so now. According to California law, you are required to keep a hundred feet of “defensible space” around your house. The first 30 feet are called the “Lean, Clean, and Green Zone” and should be free of low-growing grasses, wood and compost piles, as well as so-called fire ladder plantings. A fire ladder consists of plants that increase in height as they approach any structure.
4. Amaryllis belladonna, familiarly known as naked lady, defies conventional wisdom when it comes to bulbs. First, you will need close to a year of patience where naked ladies are concerned since, planted at the proper time, which is now, you will need to wait until next summer to see them bloom. Second, you do not plant them below the soil surface – as is the case with other bulbs, whose planting depth should equal two to three times their length – but want to leave the tops of naked lady bulbs protruding a bit above the earth.
