This past 2 weeks I finally was able to put out most of my seedlings and transplant them into the garden. I had 2 trays of cosmos and one of zinnia, most of which were getting so large the roots were growing out of the pot. I was a bit worried about putting them into the ground; what if they just didn't like the transfer out into different dirt or the intense humidity we've been having?

There's nothing like starting something from seed and then finally watching it bloom in your garden bed. For a first-time gardener, these blooms are truly miraculous. After a week or so of being in their own little bed the cosmos are flowering, and the zinnias all have ready-to-open buds on them.
