Question
I have a bed on impatiens under a pine tree.  It has a southern exposurer in Michigan.  Last year I put peat and topsoil into the bed.  This year I used Colorburst 15,30,15 plant food in the soil before planting.  We've had cooler evening weather, close to frost but not frost.  I need these plants to look good for a party on June 28.  Is there anything else I should be doing for this bed?

Answer
Impatiens are not Full Sun plants -- but this being under a Tree, I am hoping your Southern Exposure is more Impatiens-friendly by mid-day thanks to a great big tree canopy.  These are also EASY plants.  Don't water them if they don't need water; don't fertilize any more; don't accessorize them.  Relax and leave them alone.  If the weather has warmed up by now, you're in even better shape.  I would stop fertilizing them, too -- too risky; you don't want to burn them.  Sounds beautiful and I think you will have a beautiful display on June 28th.  Very best regards,

L.I.G.
