As with most new things, willfulness is as important as skill. This was my third attempt at a Zinnia garden in my new raised garden bed. More than 25 seeds sprouted today.

I’m spraying twice a day, it’s warmer than it was, and I’m more patient than I was. A formula for success. The thing is, just don’t quit. There is always a way.

This is going to be a watershed week for the Zinnia garden, I’m into it.
