Average germination in the greenhouse but only a few survived to make it into the garden. We'll see how the ones I direct sowed work out. I've grown zinnia before, both indoor starts and direct sow, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Looking forward to seeing them in bloom.
Poor germination.
A few came up in my greenhouse and I've planted them outside. Will see how they do. I direct showed several and it's too early to tell how they're doing.
We look forward every year to enjoying a ripe cantaloupe. The sweetness surpasses anything we can buy in the markets. When opened, the two sizes are a perfect treat for two.
