Zinnias! This year is my first time ever to plant zinnia seeds...my dear friend Elaine and I saw some gorgeous ones last October at a pumpkin farm in Arkansas, so I put them on my mental "must try" garden-list...I'll have to admit, I wasn't too impressed with them at first...they were kind of straggily-looking for quite a while...
They must love sun and HEAT, though, because now they're robust and blooming profusely...(even without the Miracle Grow...I just gave them some last night, so who knows...it may be "Katie bar the door" in a couple of weeks! I'll keep you posted!) ~ :)

I set these up out on the front porch yesterday afternoon late, just as the sun was starting to set...you can see that glow on them!
I think this looks like a watercolor (top), don't you?

SOMEONE needs to do a Rain Dance here...it is SO dry...(I saw our little Missouri Bootheel colored in red for "severe drought" on the national news this morning)...we just can't seem to water enough.
Things are hanging in there, but barely...our tomatoes and squash are still producing amazingly well, though some of the plants look pit-i-ful...
The cotton looks good, however ~ because it's planted around every subdivision and farmer's "holdout" inside the city limits, it's the only crop I've seen. Farmers have to be suffering, too, though.
Almost every day for the past couple of weeks it clouds up and looks like it might rain, but it always passes over...
Soon, hopefully...fingers crossed!
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday! Wish us a rainy one!
