Plant seeds of zinnias now. “Benary’s Giants” (sold as “Parks Picks” by the Park Seeds) is immune to mildew. Choose a spot in full sun, till the ground to spade depth, work in organic soil amendment and balanced fertilizer into the top six inches. Soak the soil, let settle overnight. Plant seeds one by one, barely covered, just where you want them to grow. (Don’t bury too deeply; they need light to germinate!) Sprinkle daily until germinated; irrigate regularly.

Feed camellias and azaleas now.
