Spring has sprung here in Virginia...ahhh I love all the colors that Spring brings. Last weekend Aria went to a neighbors' house for a birthday party and the party favor was a bag of Zinnia seeds. I have never heard of them before but of course afterward I had to do my homework. I like them! So one beautiful Saturday afternoon I had Aria and her friend out in the front yard planting the seeds. We must of had about 50 of them, and all of them we planted! I like them so much I think we will buy some more seeds. They seem to be doing well in our soil. For now here is what we have thus far after about a week in the ground.

Here is what the end result should look like....We can't wait to see!

Here is one sprouting up. Like I said we planted about 50 seeds....so if they all make it we should have an abundance of pink flowers!

Here are some more. So neat to grow something from the seed...normally I just spend a few extra dollars and get them already grown but heck if our soil is this good then I love saving some money and it's more fun this way for the kids!
