    I love zinnias too. Reminds me of my childhood. My mom planted a lot of them along with dahlias. I find they get fungally diseased if it’s too wet. Yours look so healthy!

    I agree! When we lived in Cleveland, I had a 4’x4′ section of my garden devoted to zinnias so that I could enjoy summer bouqets of them throughout the house.
    Have a great weekend!

    Yay for Zinnias!! I have planted some mini-zinnia seeds and they’ve just started coming up. Yes, I know – me and my late garden. This way we’ll have pretty flowers into the fall though. 🙂

    Have a wonderful weekend Carole – hope it’s not too hot or too rainy where you are!! XOXOX

    How wonderful! When I lived in PA, my dad made me a whole bed of them and would come and pull the rhisomes (sp?) every fall and put them back in every spring. I can’t grow them to save my life out here.

    Back in my “garden club” days, I had whole beds of zinnias, but have not planted any in a few years. Will have to correct that…you’ve reminded me how much I love them! Very pretty photo!

  12. Beth says

    July 13, 2007 at 9:20 am

    That’s a great picture! I love zinnias, too. I just picked a bouquet yesterday and it makes my messy kitchen look better. 🙂

    They’re very pretty! I love zinnias too, they come in all those fabulous day-glo colors. And how can I hate anything named “zinnia?” It’s just fun to say.

  26. Annie says

    Ooooo. Gorgeous! Let’s send that picture to Judy and have her make some yarn in a colorway called Zinnias for us. Just for us. What do you think?

  27. Nicole says

  29. chris says

    July 14, 2007 at 8:20 am

    They most certainly are! I think I don’t have nearly enough of them around though!

    One of the prettiest cakes I made was ‘frosted’ with whipped cream and had a few zinnias stuck in it!

  31. Li_B says

    July 15, 2007 at 12:17 am

    Ours just bit the dust from the heat. I’ll just enjoy yours, besides I don’t have to remember to water them.

This loaf took about 24 hours from start to finish, it was sluggish at first so I waited patiently and adjusted my timeline. It rested in the banneton on the kitchen windowsill overnight and I baked it when I got up this morning. Oven spring was impressive, it’s got a good ear and a nice open crumb. It tastes good, too! #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #lookatthatear #nicecrumb #ovenspring #homemadeisbest #breadforbreakfast #morningbaking #the100dayproject #100daysofiphonephotos
