another sueprise

peppero · January 5, 2013

in my greenhouse filled with edibles moved from the garden, a volunteer zinnia plant appeared about 6 weeks ago and recently surprised me with a single pinkish red flower. i say appeared because it was in a container but i did not pay much attention to it. the greenhouse is heated almost entirely by the water storage method with a low set electric space heater. days are in the 40-60 degree range and nights in the thirties. some veggies are still producing abeit it slowly but, it is nice to get arugula and peppers this time of the year. i was given a camera equipped phone and i hope to learn to post pics soon. jon

I'd love a zinnia flowering right about now. Wonderful to get stuff this time of year.
