Good for you! It won't be long until everything starts taking off.

We're actually excited we're down to the 70's. It's been high 80's for weeks, so it's been nice to have some spring temps.

I planted out a few Lilliput Zinnias. It's my first time to grow any kind of zinnia, so I'm pretty excited. I have only the one variety this year. Maybe next year I'll go for more.

I take it you like zinnias? ;) Just a guess on my part.

Have to agree with you Linda. We are starting to warm-up after a killer frost a couple of nights ago, and they are forecasting nice temps for the weekend.

Happy gardening!

Nicole.

mo_girl,
Yes, I am crazy for Zinnias :-) They just make such great cut flowers, come in several vibrant colors and the plants respond well to cutting. The plants just get fuller and bushier when you cut the flowers from them. I have some Lilliput seeds that I held off on because I already had Dasher and Thumbelina (two other dwarf varieties). I'm still looking at the packet of Lilliput thinking, "should I...?" :-) But the Elegans are the show stopper for me. I can send you seed for next WSing season if you like. I plan to collect seeds from them all this year, since the seed I collected from Thumbelina in 2005 sprouted so well this year.

Nicole,
Yeah that frost hit a few places. I guess the lake was warm enough to save us from it, but I had everything covered anyway. I'm thinking, with these temps, it's time to soak my gladious bulbs in hot sauce so I can put them in the ground. Enjoy your weekend!

WOW talk about Heat it's 87 already and not even noon yet, going to the mid 90's by afternoon here in New England. Now if any one complains about the heat Linda will post some of her lake effect snow pictures to remind us all how much we wanted to be rid of winter just a few months ago.
