Pulling Up Zinnias

Summer is really gone.  The zinnias look pretty bad.  These are the last of them to get pulled up to make way for spring seeds.

Below, one of many little spaces in the Star Garden I cleared to make way for seeds.  Many kinds of seeds have to be planted now i order to have blooms in the spring.  In Texas the seeds of any flowers that dislike hot weather have to be sown in the fall.  By the time spring arrives they are ready to bloom.  They will be ready to pull up by June.
