| Will you be taking a chance and planting impatiens this year? I think I will replace what I usually plant with New Guineas and begonias. |

| I with you on this one. Taking a pass. What I find disturbing is the flower nurseries never acknowledged there was a problem last year. I understand they are in the business to make money, but if it was me I would have had a sign up......but then again, I have a conscience & like to sleep at night. |

| I'd be willing to give them a try if there was no chance that it would contaminate the soil for the future. I do love impatiens and they are such little workhorses. Not this year, for me. |
