The near-drought here in NW Ohio (Zone 6) has been partially relieved over the past few days, but my benign neglect and lack of watering is showing for some plants. Luckily, I try to keep my gardens stocked with hardy survivors and nothing especially needy, so I think all the established plantings (and even some new additions) will weather the dry spell just fine.
Zinnias are my new favorite annual. These four Zahara ‘Coral Rose’ zinnias I started from seed are blooming like gangbusters, and I think I only gave them a drink once all summer.
