Zinnia Garden Bliss: Monarch Butterfly, Hummingbirds, and Cooler Temperatures
A monarch butterfly spent the whole afternoon in the zinnia garden, and it seemed like she was deposited some eggs the milkweeds. Several humming birds continue to visit the zinnias and the trumpet vine. The garden is so much happier with cooler temperatures. ~Goly Ostovar, AGC Member

Indoor Gardening
by member Goly Ostovar
This year I saved a few potted plants in my basement under grow lights, and they are doing well.
I continue to grow micro greens: sunflowers, peas, radishes, spinach and mixed lettuce varieties. It has been fun and easy to go downstairs and clip fresh greens daily to enjoy with meals. The geraniums and fuchsia did very well. Also lemongrass was great to have handy for Thai cooking and the turmeric bulbs kept well, too. The Lantana had a set back with aphids and would have liked it a bit warmer, but it’s starting to come around.
