My son-in-law made me a cutting board.

Here is a culture sheet for growing zinnias (I tried to make a clickable link but not sure it worked).

They recommend 68-75F after germination. Does your heat mat have a thermostat?

p.s. If Zenman answers your question do what he says - he’s the Zinnia expert!

Hi Markay,

That's right. You might see a bud in 6 weeks, but it can take a large zinnia bloom several weeks to develop fully. As always, you can see a larger version of the photos by clicking on them and close the larger version by clicking on the "X" in their upper right-hand corner.

Some of those big zinnia blooms are worth the wait.

ZM

Do I keep my zinnas in their seed trays until planting or do you upgrade them to bigger trays as they grow 🤔

Heres why I’ll post photos from last summer, this is my garden as of yesterday:

last summer tulips

so I planted about 400 fosteriana and Darwin last Fall.

Ay caramba! That's impressive.

I can show you just one clump of red fosterianas. I love these early blooming tulips even though they are quite floppy.

My tulips are just starting. These are always the first.

So nice to see everyone’s bulbs! My year in bulbs continues with Ixia ”Buttercup,” Tulipa clusiana, Dutch iris (a little past their prime), Leucocoryne and (I think) Watsonia humilis

L. Clark, Grape Hyacinth does spread nicely. But I can't tell if yours are the regular Hyacinths? They don't look like Muscari (Grape Hyacinth) in your pic, but I'm not sure of the scale. The other Hyacinths come back but usually not as full as their first blooms. Those dwindle over time.

I wish I had more tulips but the darn deer like them too much! Here's some they didn't find.

A fly photo-bombed my daffodil pic. :-)
