I have to say first - I love this forum! I love talking gardening, but am never afraid to ask questions and admit that I really know very little compared to some. You'll hear from me a lot.
Spring fever set in today so I visited the nursery to plan for some containers. Easy question for an expert: when planting containers (with annuals in PA) - should some room be left for the plants to grow, or is it okay to squish them in. After all, they only have a couple months to grow anyway.
I thought I heard on a gardening show - and this surprised me - that you should really jam as much as you want into a container. I thought a gardening professional would advise to give room for the plant to spread its roots.
Any advice, experiences?
