mostly I have weeds. Why did so few plants come up? Should I start the seeds in pots, transplant, and then heavily mulch? Right now I'm weeding around the plants I have and then laying newspaper and grass clippings around the stems.
This plot has typically done great with Zinnias, although I had the same problem last year. This year, I can't blame it on a lack of rain!
Any suggestions?

I can't really advise, since I garden in completely different conditions, and amn't very familiar with zinnia cultivation. But I do wonder whether the rain may have stopped the seeds from germinating.
Can you call an agricultural extension for advice?
Can't help you there. I'm of the "plant it, hope it doesn't die" gardening circle....!
It looks like that flower is waving hello. Pretty! All I can do is be inspired to plant. So thank you. And I hope they grow!
