| About the only requirement impatiens have is moist soil, so if you let the soil dry out between waterings, that may be part of the problem. Try pinching off the wilted leaves and keep your impatiens well-watered (sometimes once a day if the weather's hot). Once they're growing well again, feed every 2-3 weeks with a half-strength liquid fertilizer. |

Selecting Annuals
( Added: Wed Jul 20 2005 Hits: 80)
|
| If you are buying ready-grown annuals at a garden center or nursery, don't buy those that are already blooming. It's better to "buy green" because these younger plants generally survive transplanting more successfully than those in bloom. Soon, they will recover from the shock and catch up to other plants and bloom.

| Smelling pretty
Many annuals give off a scent. So, why just go for visual pleasure when you can add
some wonderful fragrances to your home. Try dianthus, sweet alyssum, candytuft,
petunia, heliotrope, or sweet pea. To get the most enjoyment from these and other
fragrant plants, position them where your nose will find them: on a deck in containers;
close to a window; and on the edges of your garden, patio, pathway or porch. |

Watering Annuals
( Added: Tue Jul 19 2005 Hits: 91)
|
| The amount of water a garden needs depends upon climate and weather conditions. Where summer rains are frequent, the garden may need irrigation only during an occasional dry spell. In parts of the arid West and Southwest, watering is one of the gardener's biggest chores. |
