Azaleas In Full Bloom
We have enjoyed some beautiful gardening weather over the past two weeks. I'm trying something new this year. A row was tilled up around the entire outside perimeter of the vegie garden and planted with Zinnia seed saved from last year's flower garden. Within five days, the Zinnia had sprouted up!
The Zinnia makes a beautiful bloom that will dress up the garden and is good for cut flowers as well. You can count on having blooms until early fall.
The seed came from a mixed variety of colors that I had planted last year. When the blooms eventualy died, they were picked and crumbled up into a paper bag. I just stored the bag of seed on a closet shelf for the winter.
