In this episode of Garden Gamble, we spotlight the top springtime annuals that love the chill, from pansies and violas to snapdragons and hardy petunias. We cover when to sow seeds or transplants, how to prep soil so seedlings get off to a strong start, and simple frost‑protection tricks that keep young plants thriving. You’ll also get practical tips on spacing and low‑maintenance care so your garden stays lively throughout the whole season.
