2.5 acres of pansies. Kohl's and Sentry purchased all of them. 2 Quart baskets. Early May to beginning of June. 

Seeded in field in mid July...covered with marsh hay usually around Thanksgiving Day...just after ground froze...uncovered in April. 

Large field pictures were taken in late fall. 

Individual pansy plant pictures...taken in spring.

                                                       Field in fall. Probably Sept or Oct. 
                                                       All the flowers had to be picked off before covering
                                                       with marsh hay in November.
