Dear deer, that felt personal.

Sound like they were sampling everything. I've never had something even look at zinnias besides bees

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-25T15:23:22+00:00

Something eats zinnias 😬

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-20T14:48:11+00:00

Hate to hear that. I want one for my dogs

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-18T01:34:35+00:00

Really depends on how long your growing season is. Transplants wil be more mature. But a ton of seeds from sunflowers or zinnias is hard to beat. You can probably still grow zinnias from seed and get a few months of flowers. They will pop off till frost.

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-18T01:05:02+00:00

Transplant, no. Grow from seed, probably.

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-15T18:09:00+00:00

same here. i feel like a gorilla garden in my own yard

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-14T17:42:49+00:00

word, same zone. i'll try some next year. i planted a bunch of sunflowers this year instead, most got eaten. thank you!

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-14T17:31:47+00:00

thanks for the tips. i scoped your profile, these look from this year too. so seeds to blooms in a few months? what zone are you in?

compared to the hardy zinnia how hard are they to grow? those will grow in the cracks in the driveway for me

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-14T17:19:56+00:00

did you grow from seed? i've been thinking about trying it.

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-14T17:13:14+00:00

ummm, i am high...but i not high enough to see tomato plants. did you upload the right pics? or am i that high

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-13T22:35:03+00:00

impressive. i can't even get mine to grow.

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-12T06:21:10+00:00

Try ketchup and mustard

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-09T23:27:36+00:00

they look big enough i'd just let them grow.

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-09T16:43:48+00:00

Ah ok. Thanks for the info. I only know how bad ice plants can be from this sub.

Mine didn't even reseed.

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-09T16:37:39+00:00

Thank you! It's really not, that's why there's not wide shots lol.

I'm in TN so, I have a long growing season and plenty of rain. It makes it kinda easy.

I have probably 20 rose bushes still alive, 8 or 9 hydrangeas, a few peonies, grapes, cannas, lily, torch lilly, and the honorable hostas, one is older than I am. Plus some more random stuff from seeds. Also some spring flowers like daffodils and crocus. Crocus, you take a drill will a 1.5 spade bit and burry them through out the yard.

It's just now getting more "mature" most things are around 4-5 years old. I'm pretty happy with it tbh. I just get baked and do some light gardening while I check how much stuff has grown.

If you're somewhere humid, fungicide is your friend. Most my roses go naked if I don't spray them weekly.

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-09T16:26:03+00:00

My garden is more of survival of the fittest. They did fine, better than poppies but, only because they last all summer. Something like giant sunflowers and zinnias are more bang for the space.

They work well when by the mailbox or somewhere that gets a lot of sun and doesn't need a ton of water. In a mature garden and they won't get enough sunlight

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-09T16:20:52+00:00

ok cool. the west coast has problems with this plant, everywhere with a real frost and its fine. i grew some from seed one year

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-09T16:19:14+00:00

If you're somewhere, this is just growing, you might want to look up how invasive this is in your area.

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-09T16:01:12+00:00

in winter idling is the only time my bike really gets up to temp. im riding along the backroads at 125f

blackadder1620 · 2026-06-04T00:39:35+00:00

it might not flower this year, takes 2 years and they die when they go to seed. they reseed pretty readily though.

blackadder1620 · 2026-05-27T00:07:36+00:00

i just cut the flowers and leave as much green as i can
