I am new to gardening and am wondering when to plant these seeds outside; also can they be planted in pots now and transplanted in spring? Thanks OH and do any of them get planted in the fall outside?
It is very easy to grow marigolds. If you live in a colder climate it is a good idea to start your marigolds early before frost has left the ground. But you have to start marigolds indoors in cold climates. To get started growing marigolds indoors you will need marigold seeds, small pots to start the seeds in and some starter soil to put in the pots. A flat that does not leak water will be a good place to put the pots in so when you water them the water will not leak out all over. You will also need a sunny window or a sun lamp. You can buy these things from a hardware store or garden center or shop.
You should start your marigold seeds indoors about six to eight weeks before the frost is estimated to be out of the ground in your area. You can plant the marigold plants outdoors after the last frost. Frost will kill marigolds.
Zinnias are grown from seed; they grow very quickly in the right conditions. Zinnias do not like to be transplanted. Full sun is essential wiht a minimum daylight temperature of 60 degrees F. Zinnias are adaptable but prefer fertile, humus-rich, well drained soil at pH preference 5.5 - 7.5. If soil is amended with compost, the flowers will grow more quickly. Sow seeds 1/4-inch deep. Space plants 4 to 24 inches apart depending on variety. (Many common varieties are 6 inches within the row and 2 feet in between rows.) See back of seed package. Germination occurs at 74 to 80 degrees F in 5 to 76 days. Sow in succession for a longer flowering display.
