Good Soak

A long soaking rain today, finally.  This will really make everything look good and leaf out.  Temperature is only in the high 50s, low 60s.  More rain is expected all week long while we are gone.

I set out tiny tiny zinnia seedlings that had just popped up in their peat pots a few days ago.  I hope they don't drown.  I put the whole little pot in the ground.  There weren't even any real leaves yet, just the first two cotyledons.

The zinnias I sowed indoors in March got too lanky and leggy and did not thrive, so this is a do-over.  Since we will be gone for a week, I hope the rain keeps them moist enough to start growing.
