The soil warmed up enough to start planting. I put out some perennials first — hostas, peonies, and a few zinnia seeds I saved from last year. The zinnias always germinate slowly, taking two to three weeks to push through the earth. Patience is part of gardening. + +The compost bin is working well this season. Kitchen scraps, autumn leaves from the maple tree out back, and a layer of straw between each batch. It turns dark and crumbly in about eight weeks. I turn it every ten days. + +## May 20 + +A few zinnia sprouts appeared today — delicate little stems with the first pair of leaves. The peonies are putting out thick green shoots. The hostas are still waiting; they always come late. + +I spent the evening reading about companion planting. Marigolds near tomatoes. Basil near peppers. Nothing about zinnias though — they're ornamental, I suppose. Some gardeners use them to attract pollinators. + +## May 28 + +The zinnias are about six inches tall now. Bright pink and white mixed. They're growing where the afternoon sun hits hardest — full sun, good drainage. The other plants are doing well too. The garden is coming together nicely. + +I noticed the soil near the zinnia patch stays a bit drier than the rest. Maybe it's the drainage, or maybe they're just thorough drinkers. Either way, they're thriving. + +--- + +*Seasonal garden notes — nothing unusual here.* +
