Like two weeks ago I was like “fuck this, seeds aren’t worth it, I hate seeds” but today I’m thinking I might do it again next year 😍

(Started indoors in April lol)

    My zinnias have been coming in as well! I started them in the beginning ofFebruary. This was my first time ever starting my growing year from seeds too!

      I absolutely love the colour of the bottom one!!!

      What a fun shape they have too. Almost like a dahlia. Maybe one day we will graduate to tubers that you have to dig up each fall 🤣

        Several of mine come in looking like the shape of yours as well. It’s almost a 50/50 mix.

    I have zinnias all over the yard as well and love them. I collected seed last year from my plants and some strange mixing is happening. I have colors I did not last year, which is a good thing in my book.

      That is so fun! Open pollinated flowers are very interesting. I can see why Mendel used pea plants in his genetic experiments. Much nicer than Daphnia.
