Zinnias grow in numerous colors and flower types to suit any floral arrangement--from a simple, elegant vase of colorful blooms to a Victorian basket of flowers. Zinnias are easy to grow, as well as easy to cut for floral displays. Use a floral preservative to keep zinnas fresh for as long as 7 to 10 days in an arrangement. Cut zinnia blooms in early morning before the heat of the day has time to wilt the stems and flowers. Choose blooms that are fully open or almost fully open with long stems. Use garden snips to cut the stems and put them in a bucket of water. Keep the cut flowers shaded since they tend to wilt in direct sun.
This is so easy to do! Just bring the water in your stock pot to a boil and go ahead and prepare your bowl of ice water. Wash your squash thoroughly and then cut into 1/2 inch rounds. If you like to make zucchini bread then you may want to shred it instead of cutting it. If you have a large quantity then you may want to break it up into batches. Put your freshly cut squash into the boiling water for 2-3 minutes.
