My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Started zinnias in sand

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

My profusion zinnia (dwarf compact variety) seedlings kept rotting on me because of daily morning dew/ condensation keeping the soil wet so I planted some in really terrible sand from my driveway which is loaded with crushed seashell in it and they actually grew!
