Ask Burton: Q: I planted a nice bed of pansies after Thanksgiving, once my summer plantings had given up the ghost. But I’ve had them in the ground for six weeks now, and they barely seem like they’re growing! This always happens to me – my pansies don’t look great until March. Why is this happening, and how can I do better?October 14, 2023
Ask Burton : Q: I have a new home this year, with new landscaping. The builder installed drip irrigation with our new plantings, but I still had plants burn up this summer despite running my system for fifteen minutes a station every day. Do I need to install spray heads before replacing them?September 27, 2023
Ask Burton: Q: I always thought Spring was the best time to plant, but recently I’ve heard that Fall is the best time. I want to add some more trees and shrubs to my landscape and wondered if you could clarify the best planting time?September 19, 2023
