What did you do in the garden today?

NUTS. Will you rebuild?

Not with the old frame. Gonna have to make something else.

I like the go wild, multi colors best

I don't think I have a good enough color sense or design sense to get it to look good. Or experience with growing very many flowers.

I can grow zinnias. Maybe the Giant California mix would get the effect. Not as well but acceptably, you think?

The seed catalog says 36" tall.

Maybe another, shorter variety in front.

My vote goes for the "go wild with multicolor zinnias". I love them. The giant dahlia flower type are great!

I also like the variety State Fair. Many nice bright colors and some resistance to leaf spot and mildew, about 3 ft tall.

Zinnias make great cut flowers and last a long time in a vase. The more blooms you cut, the more the plants make.

I worked on my garden plan yesterday. I’ll be planting lots of beans and peas in the newer beds I put in last year. That should help build up the soil. The Old Farmer’s Almanac is predicting an early Spring here. That would be a treat after this past soggy year.

Sorry about the power outage @Sueby. We were lucky with that storm. Only got about 4 inches of powdery stuff. Tomorrow, Friday we are only likely to get an inch at most. Of course, you’ll likely get a lot more.

Now the PayPal whisking email that made it through all my filters yesterday was scammy. The lengths these ppl go to.

I don't trust PayPal; I think someone working there is using the Pay Pal data base to scam people. I deleted my card number when my card got compromised. I am pretty sure the charge in my checking account happened after I bought something with Pay Pal. My bank refunded my money and gave me a new card and the evil Law company that charged me for a subscription got flaged and blacklisted by my bank.

I am recently getting scam email saying I was charged by Pay Pal, but I know it's a scam because I deleted my old credit card from their website and did not input the new one.

I was going to make tomato sandwiches with my 14oz Hossinator tomato, but ended up inserting a slice of ham in each bun and it dawned on me, this must be the original hamburger.

@saysfaa I believe that planting geraniums in various colors then stepping down in height with various seeds from the store and add very low growing flowers like marigolds would be super pretty.

Maybe there's room for a patch of mixed perennial wildflowers in your yard. You can get seed mixes that are chosen to attract pollinators like bees and/or butterflies.

I like the concept. I don't have room here but do have lots of room on the farm. I'd rather get the wildflower species individually, though. Much less risk invasive species; some of the mixes are scary, that way, when you get lists of what is in them.
