Depending on where you live you can direct seed Zinnia and Marigold into your garden right now. (These come in heights from 10 inch to 30 inch, so there is one variety for about every position in the garden.) This way you can bypass the seedling stage. ISTM that you are getting late to start something from seedlings, unless you buy a couple of flats at your local mega mart. A strategy that has worked for me here in NJ is to put in pansies in the cooler weather and when they die back (from the heat) replace them with petunias (all bought as plants at the garden shop). BTW Zinnia and Marigold are also VERY easy to start in containers. Petunias on the other hand are quite difficult. HTH, EJ in NJ |

Foregt me nots will grow well if you just walk around and scatter the seeds where you want them to grow. iam a virgin when it comes to gardening so please help i need tips and everything you ve got to help me grow my little babys how long before i see them growing?? then what do i do?? how many times do i water them?? Can't help you there as I've only ever sprinkled the seeds in beds and then ignored them. |
