Always grow zinnias.

A stunning pink-coral-orange Cactus Zinnia from my garden.
One of the easiest flowers to grow is the zinnia. You literally plant them and forget them until you are ready to make a beautiful easy bouquet for your house. The more you cut them, the more they grow. So do not fear, cut away!
Zinnias in Mason jars make excellent bouquets for your home or outdoor party. Quick, easy, and beautiful!

Bright red really draws in hummingbirds.


To protect them from beetles (like the ones eating a nearby morning glory leaf), dust with Seven below the flowers.


Another cactus. 


The quickest easiest sandbox ever.



Every toddler needs a baby pool. 



So why not buy two, fill the other with sand, and have the quickest, easiest sandbox ever?
