Thanks Katy. I got rid of one of my pots of zinnias today. Saved the dry ones for seeds. The foliage was yellow and I needed the big pot. Most of the flowers were on their way out anyway. Going down to 3 degrees Thursday night. 🤦‍♀️ @gjones

@hkyfvr I tried growing these this year but my seedlings got attacked by aphids 😞 At least I can see yours 🙂

2w
comment
hkyfvr

I am so sorry. My seedlings got bothered by fungus gnats while they were indoors. They seemed stunted in their growth. It seemed to take forever but finally they shot up and bloomed. My cosmos were a no show though. I planted so many seeds and got nothing. 🤷‍♀️ Hopefully next year for you. 🤞🤞 @Dragon_Warrior

Dragon_Warrior

@hkyfvr Thank you 😊 I guess some loss has to be expected with gardening. I also lost multiple varieties of tomato seedlings as well 🫤 Oh well. But then you find other surprises that make up for it. It’s a learning process.

Oh no. That is a lot Katy. Sorry for the late reply. Our Internet and TV and Interac were down all day long. Nice and quiet though. I wish I could send you some good weather. We have done so well this late spring and early summer. Warm days and cool nights. Hope your zinnias survive. 🤞🤞🤞♥️ @gjones

We were offline from early morning till almost 9. It was nice in some ways but annoying as we could not reach family with Rogers. Only our phone service is with Bell. I realize how much we all depend on the internet for everything. Very quiet day today. 😁 @gjones

Thanks so much for being so kind. Our wifi was down again today and it has just now come back. The TV and phones were fine but my iPad requires wifi and I have gtags on my iPad. Must get it on my phone too. My recovery is coming along slowly but the antibiotic I have to take 4 times a day has caught up with my tummy. Must take some probiotics. Thanks Katy 😍 @gjones

Thanks so much Katy. I am eating some yogurt now and will take a probiotic before bed. 👍😁 @gjones

We would be. I label my dahlia tubers but the tags get destroyed or mixed up. Still waiting for the other dahlia I overwintered to flower. Not sure if it is yellow and white or yellow and red. Will know soon. 👍😍 @kez001uk

Sounds good. They are really fast. I planted a whole pack of cosmos plus some I harvested and so far only one has germinated. I have more seeds coming in the mail hopefully. 👍 @Ottawa_Gal
