Just as an update:

We haven't seen the first flower, save an exception or two, at our farmer's market all year long.

Today, when we arrived, one of the occasional vendors had three small zinnia arrangements on her table for $5 and $6.

I've been worried that cut flowers might not sell, but I am happy to report that all of her zinnia arrangements sold to happy customers, and all were happy to buy them. It appears that there might be a market after all, even if this was a one-off event.

My wife and I are still trying to figure out where to plant our zinnia crop...we have limited space, but we are hammering out the plan slowly but surely.

I'm still wanting to plant a majority of giants, even though they seem to need more water.

As always, I am open to more ideas, thoughts, suggestions and advice!!!
