Since today is Mothers’ Day, I’m sharing a quick photo from my mom’s garden.
Yes, that’s a zinnia flower. Already. In Virginia.
You see, my mom started these seeds back in January or so. Nevermind what the seed packet recommends. That’s when she wanted to plant zinnias, so that’s when she planted them.
It’s entirely possible that my mother is the person who taught me to break the (gardening) rules…

Hello, and welcome to the Outlaw Garden! My name is Cristina Santiestevan, and I’m the outlaw gardener. I break the rules by growing vegetables in the front yard, even though my HOA (homeowners association) says “no.”

And I’m only now just thinking of getting my zinnias in the ground. I feel like such a slacker.
