Hello all,

Here in this part of Kansas (central-eastern), I grow mostly zinnias (breeding them is a hobby of mine) and tomatoes. I have developed a preference for seedless tomatoes, but all tomato varieties are on my menu. I also like Kohlrabi. These were some of my outdoor zinnias. I am in a rural area.

I also grow some zinnias indoors under lights, and I am presently doing that in our basement utility room. This photo was taken in a previous year.

I am breeding for new zinnia flower forms, such as this one.

Zinnias are capable of a lot of forms that are not available in seed catalogs. It is currently cold and windy here, and I will be spending some time in our basement utility room with my current indoor crop of zinnias. Growing zinnias indoors can be a bit "tricky" because zinnias are not houseplants. Thumbs up

I tip my hat to you.
