Re: 2ND TRY RE: ZINNIAS

Hi Adrenne,  I thought I saw a reply by someone who said they were haveing
trouble with dryness, etc, too.  This list runs busy to slow.  Don't
dispare.  Sometimes people are busy.  I live in the upper south and I
notice that more than in the west where I used to live, things change from
year to year with crops.  Sometimes I have a great year for tomatoes or
whatever, and other years, not.  This year I am having problems on plants
that I usually don't have trouble with.  Blame in on El Nino.  The heat
can't be helping anything.  My garden is fryed.  I'll bet your's is too as
you live further south than I do.  Hang in there.  Things are bound to
change.  Glenda
