ZM - I call this garden a "Wetland Garden" because it is in the same field that our wetland was constructed in and there is no way to plant the garden prior to Memorial Day, unless I want to easily loose it to flooding. This year the area was too wet to plant until July 10th, which is the latest I have ever planted it. All of my Wetland Garden was planted July 10th this year. Many of the flowers in the Wetland Garden are volunteers.

In pix #1 (taken while ago) you can see the small wetland in the distance and the Wetland Garden is the colorful area closest to the body of water. There are two zinnia rows and they are both over 300 feet long. In pix #2 the wetland is in the far distance and the most of my Wetland Garden is under water (a prior year). That is why I have to be careful when I plant there. Pix #3 (taken while ago) is the fun one - a section of the Wetland Garden.
