Once again, I forgot to take a Before picture. You rarely see how bad I let it get. That’s probably to my benefit.

Every year, I plant zinnia seeds around our well. And, every year, it gets too damn hot in July and August and I just let the grass grow with the flowers. Then, in the Spring, I pull the grass and plant zinnia seeds again.

This is what will be out there in 70 days.

The packets I bought said this year’s choices are Cut and Come Again and Thumbelina. I always get the short ones to go in front of the tall so it is really lush.

I have saved seeds in the past. But, that tends to shrink the color range as dominant colors overwhelm the other genes and they get to be almost completely pink. And I like the pink ones. But, I really like having an extravagance.
