July 29 - Saturday

Was away from 21 - 26.  

Watered soakingly on Friday (day of departure) and hoped a little rainfall in between to save the plants.

Plants survived and it rained Thurday.  

Today almost an inch of rain and cold.

Planted some petunia seeds to replace what I planted as Mums.  They turned out to be cotton wood.

I really had a bad experience with Eden brothers.  Their zinnia seeds also suck.  I paid high price for specific colors.  

Never buy from them again.
