I have been gardening all my life and I've found that time is all it takes to make gardening enjoyable. Now with over 30 years of gardening and blogging experience and counting!
We planted zinnias last year in the front yard by the street near our water meter which we surrounded by rocks. They seeded themselves quite well in that bed as well as a couple surrounding beds, some beds no where near the area, and in the backyard in several locations.
Fortunately they're not very big and like to sprout in the shade.
