I am growing 6' zinnias @home. I consider it a lack of strong sunlight, but I am seeing this in other areas as well- my cukes bloom, grow tall and never fruit. On the highways I also see plants that should be tall and havent even started blooming- from the weather temps droppin so low at night and never reaching abive the hi 80's in the daytimes. I also noticed a great many more grasses this year than wildflower blooms... My query is if anyone is tracking our UV doses this year compared to others. I know some of you are also getting taller and delayed plants/blooms.
