Thanks everyone! Yes. So many forums for me to lurk in makes me very happy. I even saw some gorgeous pictures of zinnias and immediately thought, "Can I eat them?"
I looked them up and they don't seem to be edible, but I have a perfect place for something pink and showy that likes the full hot sun I get here. I do grow a few things that aren't really edible, like herbs for medicinal purposes and attracting beneficial bugs and pollinators. I learned about a lot of herbs trying to grow stuff to make my husband feel better and less grumpy. He had cancer. Although I was less of a bonehead about availing myself of all the herbs I was growing. In my new gardening zone, I have to relearn how to activate my not-so-green thumb.
And yes, I do have many bonehead moments myself. I'm sure I will be introducing her to all of you soon. See you around!
