Hello! I am already thinking about my beds for next year as protest to the measurable snow we already have had of late.

I have been piqued to try some of the Queen lime - any color (haven't decided which) zinnias and have read that they do better and stay double head if you sow directly. I have never had luck w any zinnia sowing direct and have to start mine indoors and move out. Will I indeed have issues if I do this? I don't know if my few direct sow zinnias have come up and someone has eaten them or they just detest my soil and in protest say forget it. I'd be interested what your thoughts are in growing this line of zinnias. The colors intrigue me. And I figured I'd ask you experienced growers.
Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle ... a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream."
