Weeding with the lawn mower

I was weeding my flower rows with the lawn mower the other day

and luckily I saw these  before I ran over them.

Self sown Zinnias!

I have been trying for weeks to raise some seeds that I saved from my fantastic blooms,

No luck, not one seedling from several trays of trying.

I think it was just not hot enough. I was trying to push the envelope too far into spring.

I could not help my self and transplanted them immediately to a row with a dripper line installed

I might even try another tray of seeds now.

Last years flowers were stunning singles in purple, red, orange, white, green, yellow.........

I must have planted all the seeds I had because I can't find them

and the only seeds at the hardware shop were for doubles..............

I do hope I like them as doubles or I will have to keep my eyes out for more self sown ones.

I am also stepping out into the etsy world of retail with things I regularly sell at our market stall

Dried Herbs.

I have yet to photograph the herb vinegar, which is the secret weapon when making sauces and gravies.

I am also hoping to include some salvias and herb plants. I just have to get out there and take some photos.
