We have found ourselves overrun with zinnias and marigolds that have popped up from last year's seeds that dropped. The little seedlings have come up throughout the vegetable garden. It is a nice problem.
I have been digging up the ones that are on the walking paths and those growing much too densely and putting them in flats of eighteen. Probably close to a hundred have been transplanted at this time. I have taken some to school and given some away to family.
In an effort to have more at home, B dug out the lawn in the backyard and created a new round bed.
It is about 7 feet in diameter.
We transplanted coreopsis into the middle, zinnias in a ring out from that and marigolds around the perimeter. That was a few weeks back and now the first blooms are beginning.
So far, so good.
