Planting Antirrhinums and Viscarias in Spring Garden Work
A historical gardening guide advises planting Antirrhinums in separate colors to avoid disease, lift with care to fill gaps, and apply lime and fungicide powder before planting. It notes Viscarias varieties from 6 to 8 inches, warns against early sowing, and suggests borders or mixed plantings with taller annuals. Soil treatment with slaked lime is emphasized for sour soils and disease resistance, with timing guidance for peas, potatoes, brassicas, and other crops.
