Never before have I had zinnias in November. I cut them all back on Sunday because as much as I enjoyed them outside, I would have cried if I had looked out and seen them all black and dead after the frost. Apparently the secret this year was planting them in the shade and having infinite patience. They didnβt start to do anything until late August and some hadnβt even begun to bloom a month ago. They were the only annual success (besides the sunflower garden, which went hard until it shriveled) this year. Annuals from seed are hard. #igersmaryland #gardens #gardening #autumn #endofthegrowingseason #zinnias #thankyoubeauties #tillnextyear https://www.instagram.com/p/CHsgKjvjRxo/?igshid=e0j3mher00wc
