Luigiwu,
Be sure and check out the Senior Gardener's "Archives"---it's a compilation
of his blogs over the last 10 years or so. I should stop looking-I almost
impulse bought some "kiss me first" (or something like that) Sweet Corn
this morning from High Mowing.

Zinnias are fairly large seeded and grow very quickly. I usually start mine
mid or last week in April for planting out around Mother's Day. They do great
direct seeded although I think it's better to start inside if your soil is compacted
or the area is weed-challenged. They germinate very quickly, too. Great for
kids to grow because of the large seed and the speed at which they grow!
Check out Magellan for large flowers on short plants or the Benary Giants
found in many catalogs. Also, easier to find decent varieties on local seed racks
than petunias.
