My disastrous attenpt at lasagna layering bulbs was in ground. I'd seen Youtube videos of lasagna layering bulbs in pots and reasoned I could do the same in ground. I was wrong!

The foliage on my Magellan Yellow zinnias looked awful, with large holes that I thought were the resultg of gnawing by some bug or slug or SOMETHING. The Zahara Starlight Rose zinnia (planted in the center, as an "eye" effect) was non-effected. But my plantiung backfired in another way: the yellow zinnias wereabout twice as tall as the Zahara's, so the "eye" waqsn't visible from any distance!! (I thought the Zahara's were pretrtier. . . do you suppose the foliage holes in the yellow zinnia were leafspot? Just what IS leafspot anyways??)
