Haven't had soil tested recently as the UW had not been accepting due to Covid and I haven't gone back to check lately. My soil is sandy as this area of the state provides the sand to frac, so it's dry and the only thing going for it has been easier weeding.
I had been doing searches on the zinnias and had read on one persons blog about the double vs single with direct sow vs moving about which I took to mean transplanting and having never heard something like this I thought to ask here as I've gotten good replies on my questions I noodle (I think this was the article:
https://thekokorogarden.com/bl...).
Zinnias were always taught to me to be something easy to plant and have a lot of color and I've had nothing but trouble since I started raising them until I started them in house. If I sowed directly let's say a whole packet in my garden area, I would maybe get 4-6 plants tops. I do know I have major moles, but they are much more active late summer then early at least near this bed. I'm unsure why I have continued issues with zinnias. I also grow in other areas in this bed: dahlias, salvia, Marigold's, dill, lantana and the zinnias are the ones I have continued issues with.
Appreciate your idea of the line and it's something to look at doing next year. Thank you too for taking the time to reply!
