Sorry about some of these pics we had to move everything since this weekend my son graduates from high school and his open house is gonna be here so I had to make room in the sunny part of the yard that we are not using at the moment.

    wow!! What a lot of containers. The wall your husband put up is a great idea!
    I planted out some zinnias today and they are miniscule compared to mine.
    I also can't wait for pictures in bloom.

    Thank you all for the comments. I did a total of 262 jugs I think plus I also had to resow a few that did not germinate or got drowned out by the rain. But I think there is like 26 different types of zinnias. Now I just have to find place to put everything. Luckily I have a bunch of sisters and a few in laws who like to garden. And I will posting pics during the summer. Thanks again.

    Very nice. You'd better get out there and plant!

    Whew, I can't imagine 262!

    Wow! What a garden...I scrolled back up to see what zone you were in figuring it had to be warmer than mine and you're in zone 5 versus my zone 6. You got the touch and a LOT of it after seeing all those sprouts and actual PLANTS in those containers. What a great job. I have Zinnia envy and not just the Green Envy ones...LOL. I can't get enough of them but since I've moved some newly sown ones up to windowsills in my father's "office" to get them to germinate in warmth (40s for weeks at night) we've come to a standoff.

    What a job you did...so impressed and you're going to have gorgeous bloomin gardens. Congrats on gardens and son's graduation. Awesome.
