For both Zinnias -
Seeds were a gift last year which (since I am such a careful gardener) -
I scattered wherever they wanted to go -
Wishing them safe travels and don't become somebody's supper -
Since I know so much (right) about gardening -
I saved seeds from the Zinnias as they were done -
Guess how surprised I was when they began sprouting this year -
(and i still had the Zinnia seed stash !)

(y'all really don't have to continue laughing)

Knew the False Sunflowers and Cosmos were self-seeders -
A person just can't know everything -
Why do you think I tell them.-
"Bloom where you are planted (or planted yourself)" ?
Am not a baby-sitter of any plants -
That sage advice was given to me many moons ago when we bought our first home in Florida -
My neighbor had a wonderful yard, so I went over to get some tips from him -

"Either they grow -
Or they do not -"
That advice has remained with me through many plant adventures -

So, Dear Soul, who gifted me with more Zinnia seeds -
They have a good home -
Down the Road at Not My Garden -

(can see her sighing right now)

But, all is good -
Trust me -
