In the South, we have two planting seasons. Fall is the time to plant pansies. Actually, we plant pansies, johnny jump-ups and snapdragons. These beauties give the flower beds color throughout the winter. I also plant all the planters with pansies. Each planter gets one color.

No matter where you live, fall is the time for everyone to

• divide perennials
• plant bulbs
• plant new perennials
• plant cold weather vegetables.

A little effort this fall will pay benefits all spring and summer.
