Hello to everyone. Glad to see the forum is still alive and well. :O)

So last year I signed a 4 year least and started to establish gardens on a cute property. Decided to sow some Zinnias for the umpteenth time. In the past they had not germinated or they had crashed during a cold night, but last year they grew and grew and WOW!! Gosh, I did not think colours could be so sharp!!

Winter sowed them again this year along with Calendula, California Poppies, Sunflowers, and the miriades of other perennials and annuals, and 8 different kinds of Digitalis - another favourite. Guess what germinated first?? Zinnias. The Enchantress Zinnia no less. Blooms to a gorgeous old rose colour that is so solid.

We've had a few freezes but I have had a few more germinations... of Zinnias! I have no idea why Zinnias are anxious to germinate and grow here on Porcupine Hill in Terence Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada, but it is what it is and I am going to enjoy it!

Looking forward to seeing them again this year.
