Why Every Gardener Should Plant Zinnias This Year

"When it comes to flowers in the vegetable garden, marigolds, nasturtiums and calendula are the first blossoms that pop into my mind. I can see them vividly, swaying in the breeze, bejeweled with yellow-orange petals, being visited by a great variety of beneficial insects.

So, for the sake of beauty, among other things, let’s bring them on over to the vegetable patch. Trust me, the zinnias will fit right in with the other flowers growing in your vegetable garden."  Comments from Rural Sprout

I have many packs of zinnia seeds that I should have already sown, but they will be the first to get started.  I love zinnias!  Some are tall, some are short . . . all with varying colors.
