| Zinnias 2021 |
We've been enjoying our colorful, beautiful Zinnias in our gardens all summer. Now, it's time to save the seeds from this year's flowers. You guessed it! I am already thinking about next year's bountiful crop. For that reason this past week many colorful flowers were snipped from the plants and placed in cut down tissue boxes. These snipped flowers are drying out in our garage.
Every year during the month of September I continue this tradition. The red, pink, orange and yellow snipped flowers will dry out and then I will be able to separate the "tear shaped" seeds from the dried out petals.

Then, the Zinnia seeds will be stored in labeled sealed envelopes. It's amazing how many seeds a gardener can harvest! After 5- 6 years the colorful flowers become smaller, so I purchase new seed packs the following Spring. The process continues for another 5- 6 years.
It's great to plan ahead!
Enjoy!
