Oh no not winter - please! I need to get some Pansy seed for Autunm bedding. I grew a lot of Polyanthus last year which are great flowers but a bit of a pain to over summer as they all need replanting so I'm going to grow more throw away Pansies this time to complement the Polyanthus I could be bothered to save.
