The awe-inspiring Grand Canyon was probably carved about 70 million years ago, much earlier than thought, a provocative new study suggests - so early that dinosaurs might have roamed near this natural wonder.
Using a new dating tool, a team of scientists came up with a different age for the gorge's western section, challenging conventional wisdom that much of the canyon was scoured by the mighty Colorado River in the last 5 million to 6 million years.
Study contends Grand Canyon as old as dinosaur era

Antarctic microbes thrive without sunlight
In a world without sunlight, microbes still seem to thrive in an Antarctic lake iced over for at least 2,800 years, biologists report.
Lake Vida, a chilly brine pool covered by more than 50 feet of ice, resides in East Antarctica. Biologists led by Alison Murray of the Desert Research Institute in Reno report that 2005 and 2010 core samples reveal aquatic microbes thrive in its yellowish waters, in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Astronomers spy a planet untethered to any star; there may be many more
There's an orphan planet roaming our galactic neighborhood.
It's a globe of gas about the size of Jupiter, astronomers say. And it's out there by its lonesome, untethered to any star, drifting about 100 light-years from Earth. (In astronomical terms, that's close.)
Astronomers have spied lonely planets before. But this newest object, seen near the southern constellation Dorado, is the closest to Earth yet found.
Brazil plans to clone endangered species
Brazil says it will try cloning eight animal species that are under pressure, keeping them in captivity as a reserve in case wild populations collapse.
Brazil's agricultural research agency, Embrapa, working with the Brasilia Zoological Garden, has collected around 420 tissue samples, mostly from carcasses, to prepare for a cloning program, NewScientist.com reported.
Stone-age humans began using lethal technology 71,000 years ago employing spears and arrows to triumph over Neanderthals
The date when stone-age humans first invented the lethal technology of spears and arrows has been set back many thousands of years with the discovery of small stone blades dating to 71,000 years ago.
Archaeologists believe the "bladelets" were used as the sharp tips for arrows or spears and were made by a relatively sophisticated technique involving the heat treatment of stone before shaping the final cutting edges.
Oregon scientists make embryos with 2 women, 1 man
Scientists in Oregon have created embryos with genes from one man and two women, using a provocative technique that could someday be used to prevent babies from inheriting certain rare incurable diseases.
The researchers at Oregon Health & Sciences University said they are not using the embryos to produce children, and it is not clear when or even if this technique will be put to use. But it has already stirred a debate over its risks and ethics in Britain, where scientists did similar work a few years ago.
Talking whale learns to imitate human speech in attempt to 'reach out' to human captors
A captive white whale that made unusual mumbling sounds when he was in the presence of people may have been trying to mimic his human companions, scientists have found.
An acoustic analysis of the sounds made by a beluga whale called NOC has revealed remarkable similarities to human speech patterns, indicating that the whale was trying to "reach out" to his human captors, scientists believe.

Brady zeroed in on Colts defense, not Luck - 0 Comments
While most people are talking about the Tom Brady vs. Andrew Luck matchup in Saturday's division round, one person isn't giving it a second thought. That person is the Patriots quarterback, who made his weekly appearance on the Dennis & Callahan show today.
''Truthully, I'm not worried about the opposing quarterback," Brady said, when asked what he thought when he watches Luck play. "I'm thinking about the defense and what I need to do to play against them.''

What turns people to a career in the pornographic arts? The money? The attention? The Fleshlight endorsement possibilities? When it comes to the amateur harlot Alanna Thomas and her friends, it's nymphomania that has spurred their homemade hardcore creations and led to the opening of the new-ish ten-site Nymphos Network. Simply put, the women featured here might look like everyday housewives, aunts, office workers, and schoolmarms, but they're hiding some deep, dark, utterly depraved secrets: anal pounding, double-penetrations, bukkake parties, black cock obsession, cunt-lapping lesbianism, and even some masked anonymous gangbanging, too! Nymphos Network does have a few problems, sure, but it's also a fascinating look into the everyday sexual underworld of the good ol' USA.
You've got a hard drive loaded with your favorite porn clips, galleries, and full-length features, but what about Dirty Hard Drive, a six-site network filled with scintillating smut from the likes of Katie Kox, Sophie Dee, and Kiera King? Having been pumping out the porn for about three years, Dirty Hard Drive should now be hitting its stride, solidifying its place in the online porn market. Then again, maybe it is faltering and falling further behind the competition with update-less periods and non-HD videos causing discontent among members. You know all about your dirty hard drive already, so why not let Mr. Pink tell you all about this Dirty Hard Drive?
Chubby Sistas might sound like the name of an all-girl rap group whose rhymes focus on the politics of body acceptance, but it's not, thank fuck! Instead of trying to convince you that being morbidly obese is perfectly healthy, the women of Chubby Sistas have instead decided to simply fuck themselves silly and let their pussies do the talking. With over a hundred exclusive hardcore sex scenes, all of them starring women who'll never be described as "petite", Chubby Sistas is one epic roll in the hay, but not necessarily for all the right reasons.
So you never get invited to any gala events and have no need of that tuxedo you bought on sale at Goodwill. Quit your cryin' and man up! What kind of red-blooded male wants to go to opera premieres, a cruise liner launch, or the unveiling of some rare, long thought lost masterpiece by a great artist? Why not try to head to something like Assbangers Ball instead? The women are looser, the fluids flow more freely than champagne, and you're guaranteed to get laid (albeit vicariously) here at Assbangers Ball. (Plus, the dress code is really lax.)
It seems that some women, usually those who embrace their inner whorishness, adore and crave the attention of many, many men. Well, I suppose it's not always the men themselves, rather their cocks and what comes out of them. We're talking jizz whores here and Jizz Whore Party is an online home to many, many women fitting this description. See them suck! See them fuck! See them lose track of who they're sucking and fucking! See them get covered with enough creamy ejaculate to sink a kayak!
He's the Cumshot Legend and the man with near perfect penile aim. He's Peter North and he's out to splash his heavy-duty loads on the faces of porn's hungriest cum-dumpsters. Judging from the current state of Club Peter North, the notorious Canadian ejaculation machine seems content to rest on his past accolades. Unfortunately, in the current pornographic climate, such stasis means certain death. Can Club Peter North still offer the premium North experience it once was heralded for? Read on, fellows, and find out every last juicy drop of information carefully researched and considered by yours truly, Mr. Pink!
There's rarely anything genuinely new and original in pornography and erotica, but NuErotica's name makes a bold claim for the new guard. Inside the site, however, it's not as rosy as you might have thought with updates slacking, videos looking drab, and content that, quite frankly, could've come from anywhere. More of a "hot women on the Internet whose sexiest images we've gathered in one place" site than an original erotic endeavor, NuErotica certainly isn't new. It is, however, pretty damn erotic when it needs to be.
"Yeah, my girl loves anal," your pal casually let loose over a few beers and, since then, you've been dreaming about slipping it inside your lady's rear passage. She's down to try (and you have) but until she's anally taken as many dicks as have the women of new Naughty America site, My Girl Loves Anal, you'll probably still be dreaming. Why not enjoy some vicarious thrills provided by the likes of Julia Ann, Eva Karera, Jennifer White, and Juelz Ventura, all of whom are not only eager for a filling, they've got one particular orifice in mind.

El Mirage, Arizona was founded by migrant farm workers in the 1930's and it still has that flavor even though the cotton fields around it have been turned into track houses and chain stores. It's an island of the old country, a place surrounded on all sides by a culture of newness and mass production. El Mirage is a stubborn, rooted place.
When Miguel Miguel came here from Guatemala as a teenager in 1986 he came to work in those cotton fields. He walked for two days and two nights through the Arizona desert with his soon-to-be bride Maria. She was 13. He was 15. "Thanks god we made it." He says it with a weary smile. "They didn't catch us." They were escaping a raging civil war in Guatemala. In their home village, Miguel says he saw 18 people executed by the government after they were accused of being communist guerillas. Right in front of him, one by one, eleven killed the first time. Seven killed the second time. They weren't even guerillas, he says. He doesn't know why it happened. It was a mad, insane time in Central America then. Millions died.
Their first year here Ronald Reagan declared an amnesty for undocumented agricultural workers, which was a supreme stroke of good fortune. Now they were both on the path to legal residency. They married a year later. It was an unofficial commitment in the eyes of the law—she was 14, he was 16—but that didn't stop the couple from starting their family. Twenty-one years later they have seven children between the ages of five and 21. They all live at home in a modest 3-bedroom home. Roosters and hens run around in the backyard. Gang members shoot at each other near the front yard.
As for digital technology, their attitude is one of indifference. They don't have the money to even hope for the latest and greatest. And compared with where their family has its roots, their lives now are flooded with technology. Until three years ago, for instance, Miguel was still communicating with his mother by recording into cassette tapes and sending them back and forth to Guatemala. He had no choice. She had no phone so he couldn't call. She can't read so he couldn't write. It would take three months to get an answer to a question.
But it all comes back to money, of which they have little. Because of this they must manage their expectations and desires. Wants are expensive things to have. Mariela Miguel, their 15-year-old daughter, says cellphones are unnecessary when she can simply walk to her friend's house. Face-to-face communication is better, she says. Makes us more human, she says. But what if someone bought you a cellphone? I wouldn't take it she says, you'd have to pay for the minutes. How about a cellphone with unlimited minutes? She smiles. I'd take it, she says.
Consumer infatuation hasn't penetrated the Miguel house. But it's starting to. You can feel it. There are two Ipods floating around and they're in constant use. There's one laptop and it's on until it overheats and shuts itself down each afternoon. The first thing the oldest kids bought with the money from their teenage jobs were cellphones.
Still, the thing that gets the most use is out back and it has no corporate logo. It doesn't need batteries. It didn't come in a box or a bag. You can't get it on Ebay or at the Apple Store. It's a patch of grass. That's all. A 30' x 30' patch of grass. On it there are four or five chickens, a friendly black dog, an arbor of grapes, and some metal frames that stand in for a jungle gym. But really it's a blank canvas for the imagination, a screen with the highest possible resolution.
Does Mariela, the 15-year-old who covets cellphones, feel unfortunate for what they're lacking? "At least we have something. Not too much and not too little."

US: Bain Capital affiliate Sankaty buys kosher food firm Manischewitz
Sankaty Advisors, an affiliate of US private-equity group Bain Capital, has taken over local kosher food group The Manischewitz Co.
The two companies announced Sankaty had made a "strategic investment" in Manischewitz after a deal with owners that included investment firm Harbinger Capital Partners.
They did not specify the nature of the transaction. A source familiar with the situation said Sankaty had "basically bought the company". Financial details were not disclosed.
Manischewitz, founded in 1888, would be able to "continue its storied tradition of producing the highest-quality kosher products". Yaakov Horowitz, head rabbi at Manischewitz, said.
Sankaty is not the first private-equity investor at Manischewitz. Descendants of the company's founders sold the company to Kohlberg & Co. in 1990. In 2008, Harbinger invested in the business, then known as RAB Food Group. It changed its name back to The Manischewitz Co. later in the year.
"Manischewitz has earned a position as one of the most highly-recognised brands in the world," Sankaty said. "We believe Manischewitz is well positioned to grow due to rising mainstream interest in kosher foods."

I just recently upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0" to a Moto G. I sold my SGP and accessories for almost what I paid for my Moto G, which I considered a pretty good deal. I currently have no need for a cell phone, however, and merely use the Moto G as I did the SGP. That means connecting with WiFi only and using it mostly as a media and navigational device (with pre-downloaded maps and GPS enabled).
In an attempt to conserve as much of the (already amazing) battery life as possible, I've set location to Battery Saver and disabled "Data enabled" and "Data roaming" under Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile network settings. I've also set "Battery Saver" under Settings>Battery to "On". Despite this "Cell standby" under Settings>Battery still consumes an average 20% of a full charge of my battery. Part of this could be that as I am in a remote location, with only very weak cell signals available, the device is constantly searching for signal despite the fact that I do not even have a SIM card installed.
Is there any possible manner in which I could switch off the cellular modem in the phone without switching off WiFi? I can set the device to "Airplane Mode" but that also turns off WiFi, which I prefer to leave on during the day and only switch off at night. I am very new to Android 4.x, so do not yet know all the ins and outs of the Settings menu, and as such may be missing something. Or there might just not be the option. Either way, is what I am wanting to do possible?

He was really respectful. Spoke to me with great knowledge about the Immigrations Act. And was so awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would Recommend this Attorney to anyone that needs help with immigration.
This Attorny was very helpful and completed my aplication and kept me updated at all times.
Very nice. Very informative. Explained my options clearly. It was nice to have access to a real attorney instead of paralegals and secretaries. They are very fair priced as well.
His a very good lawyer, honest, and dependable. Before I called Tyson I had called a few other lawyers and not one would take my case because of a felony involved. I was detained by ICE without no bond. It wasn't even 21 days before I was released. Thanks to him he saved me a lot of time and money

Stylish apartment that was very clean, and in a high-end apartment complex. We used taxi's to get around and did not use the BRT just across the street but that did seem convenient. Christophe was amazingly fast in responding to any messages via AirBnb. Thanks Christophe for the nice stay.
Beautiful place with beautiful views, everything is very clean and tidy and both Cedric and Christophe were great host and they were always there to ensure that we had the best experience. Right across from Tianhe park approx 45 min from airport (150yuan cab) or 20 min to Shamian Island and somewhere in town (45yuan cab ride)!! Sweet place!! Loved it
Chris kept contact with us since the booking and he was very nice and hospitable, so was Emily. The apartment is spacious and nice, and above all, located in a nice and convenient neighborhood. The only pity was that there was no metro near it, but there were plenty of buses available. Also worth mentioning is that the place was quite stylish and bright, so definitely a go. But you might need to prepare your own seasonings lol.
Had a great time in GZ. I didn't personally meet up with Christophe but his friend, Cedric, has been really helpful during my stay there. Thanks.
The apartment is exactly as on the photo and very positive and bright, the view from the windows is stunning. Neighborhood one of the best in the city (according to our observations) - quite green and clean. Located close to the stop of fast buses, five stops to the central area. Highly recommend!
I was met at the apartment by Christophe's concierge Emily. She was warm and welcomed us to the apartment.
The apartment is exactly as shown in the photos. It is a clean and nicely furnished space. The rooms were good sized and the apartment was spacious. The balcony added an area to look out over the Tianhe district.
Water was available through a dispenser and the apartment was well stocked with hygiene items such as toiletries and detergent. The host had also kindly provided 4 sets of towels, bedroom slippers and toothbrushes for us to use. There was working wifi in the apartment and the TV had multiple local channels to choose from.
The neighbourhood was busy and lively. Although there was a lot of cars honking late into the night, the noise could not be heard in the rooms. From the living room, the noise was apparent only if the balcony doors were open. There were many choices for food just below the apartment and within a five minute walk across the road. There were multiple convenience stores immediately below and a supermarket nearby.
The apartment is 5 minutes walk from the BRT which connects you to the Tianhe shopping district in about 4 to 5 stops. It was convenient to get around by taxi or by bus.
All in all, it was an extremely pleasant stay and I would recommend it to anyone looking for accommodation in the area.
Amazing apartment, very helpful host, convenient location. True home away from home! Thank you, dear Friend, again for this fantastic experience!
Christophe and his wife are very friendly and open. They stayed only one night and left the apartment nice and clean. Happy to welcome them again. Thank you!
The appartment is very nice, clean, modern and well located ,you will feel like home, the view of the city its very cool,have many things around the location,nice shopping area, restaurants and easy for transportation; Christophe is a very good host very kind and friendly, he will take care of every detail during your stay; it is a very good place to stay in Guangzhou

Unpretentious, very comfortable stay

Candlewood Katy is conveniently located, clean, quiet, and comfortable. Like at any hotel, some of the front desk staff are clueless (really -- you can't fix the ice maker, provide an ice cube tray, or simply provide ice?), but others are very, very professional (e.g., "In conjunction with your wakeup call, sir, we wanted to remind you of the daylight savings time change" -- this was an invaluable tip and showed good thinking and excellent customer service),

Needed a quick place to crash for one night during a road trip. It was nice to have the kitchenette and dining table. Even had a dishwasher! Only thing missing was a coffee maker. I did not notice that in the hotel info when I booked the room. Yes, free coffee in the lobby area but I really prefer to make my own while still in my pj's.

Trane Reliability & Early Failure - Beware
I had two Trane XR13 units installed 2 yrs + 11 months ago. Now, downstairs XR13 is not cooling. Installer service call revealed condensor coil leak. Installer contacted Trane and coil covered by warranty but labor not covered by warranty.
So, add it up, Service call $ + Leak test $ + Freon Recharge $(to enable unit while waiting for coil from Trane distribution) + Coil change-out $ + Freon Recharge $ = $1,200.
I am so disappointed in Trane quality & premature failure. When we were obtaining quotes 3 years ago we considered Goodman brand hardware but decided to pay higher price for anticipated Trane reputation for reliability and longivity. As customers, we feel sorely mislead and shabbily treated by Trane quality and reliability claims.
Beware if considering Trane brand hardware.
Hopefully this is your only problem with this unit. I'm still considering Amana over Carrier due to price. I figure I can use the 2,000 I'm saving towards repairs on the Amana and maybe I'll get lucky....As your story proves even the better names can have problems so there is no guarantee that I'd be home free with Carrier anyway. My thinking it's the same installer who I have confidence in and I'm getting that 10 yr part and labor warranty. I was going to get the Carrier and last night I was just thinking to myself..."WHY am i going to spend the extra 2,000 for Carrier" I couldn't come up with a reason considering they both have 10 yr pt and labor warranty in my price. I can use the 2k to pay for a hotel room if the repair takes too long!
Is a condensor coil leak the kind of thing the install could have anything to do with? I ask because so many people insist the install is more important than the brand.
My 2 Trane XR12 units from 2004 have experienced one capacitor failure as the only problem. Getting the installation completed properly initially was another story. While HVAC is not my trade, I do know a good installation, or a bad one, when I see it.
I have installed 100's & 100's of units in my day and sometimes you just get a bad unit. It doesnt mean the company is crap or that they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes, it just means a guy on that assembly line... that particular day when your unit was being made... might have been having a bad day. All companies are ran by humans and humans make mistakes.
Nice, understanding attitude fluffybunny. I, too might wax philosophical were it not my $1,200 &$@�#'d away.
I would be complaining not so much on the failure but the dealer's labor cost. It would seem to me that this is extremely high and dealer should call Trane to see if something could be worked out for this customer.. This is done everyday. I would have already called the local Trane distributor who most always has a residential specialist on their staff.

Beach House Retreat -- Moss Beach
Beachfront Paradise
Relaxing, peaceful and beautiful...
So I went on VacationRentals.com and sought out a beach house in the Half Moon Bay area. I saw this listing and called crossing my fingers it was going to be available.
Right from the beginning, my experience with Jim was pleasant. He returned my telephone call right away. He was friendly and very accommodating with our last minute decision to get out of town.
Jim and Kathy are very hospitable - friendly, accommodating, organized, resourceful...I could go on and on. And then, there's their beautiful beach house. So peaceful and lovely. Beautiful views of the beach (plus you can access the beach), well maintained hot tub, incredible kitchen, comfortable beds and bedding (I love their sheets), sunken bath tubs...I mean, you bring your food and beverages and you never have to leave once you get there (and believe me, you won't want to leave, I know we never do)!
We have made a tradition to stay here at least once a year (and more if we can). Tony and I highly recommend this unbelievable property. You won't be disappointed.

Virginia State Police responded to dozens of wrecks throughout Carroll and Grayson counties over the weekend, when a mixture of ice and snow created hazardous road conditions throughout the Twin Counties.
First Sgt. Mike Musser reported a total of 34 crashes in Carroll and Grayson in an email to The Gazette on Monday.
Of the reported wrecks, Musser noted that the most severe crash was not weather-related. On Feb. 13, police responded to a severe crash on U.S 21, a half-mile south of Virginia 654 in Grayson County, at approximately 3:45 p.m.
Too many clerks?
If the Town of Hillsville employs any more clerks for the town hall, they will need to buy a mobile office and put it in back of town hall.
HILLSVILLE — It has been 18 years since former Carroll County administrator Billy Mitchell was indicted on federal embezzlement and money laundering charges for a scheme to take more than $400,000 from the county.
After serving out his prison sentence and returning as an active member of the community, one Carroll supervisor believes Mitchell deserves a second chance at public service.
Supervisor Bob Martin's motion to appoint Mitchell to serve on the Carroll Planning Commission was tabled during the Board of Supervisors' Feb. 9 meeting.
HILLSVILLE — Christopher Duncan, facing two counts of attempted murder and multiple other charges in the shooting of Marty Lee Hiatt in Cana last year, waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Carroll County General District Court on Friday.
Duncan is facing seven charges in the case, including two charges of attempted murder, one charge of malicious wounding, one charge of malicious shooting into an occupied vehicle and three charges involving the use of a firearm in committing a felony.
"I'm flattered. I'm just speechless," said Galax Elementary School Resource Officer Fred Bobbitt, who was honored with the Virginia's Most Outstanding Crossing Guard Award by Virginia's Safe Routes to School Program.
Bobbitt, one of six to win the honor in the state, was nominated by Galax Safe Routes to School Director Linda Mock. On Feb. 11, Bobbitt received a balloon, Safe Routes to School merchandise and banana pudding.
Anthem announced that former and current customers whose personal data may have been hacked in a cyberattack can sign up for two years of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection.
Anthem's Virginia spokesman, Scott Golden, said the health insurer is working with a vendor to provide services to those potentially affected by the attack, which is estimated to be some 80 million former and current customers and employees.
INDEPENDENCE – Grayson supervisors approved an additional appropriation for funding to the county's Comprehensive Services after recent expenditures show the initial $700,000 may not be enough.
Department of Social Services director and Community Policy and Management Teams (CPMT) chair Tony Isom made the request to the board during its regular meeting last Thursday.
RICHMOND – Virginia has restored the civil and voting rights of over 5,100 ex-offenders, and Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced major changes to the restoration of rights application process for offenders of more serious crimes, including shortening the application from 13 pages to just one page and removing burdensome requirements such as notarization and letters to the governor.
Doing everything you can to avoid spreading disease is among the most basic requirements of membership in a civil society. It has been for millennia.
Trying to prevent the transmission of pathogens explains the laws in Leviticus, the development of modern sewer systems and the use of quarantine to stem epidemics.
Throughout history, a person's duty to prevent the spread of disease to his neighbors has been so fundamental that it has been largely uncontroversial. Then came modern America, which is in the middle of an entirely preventable measles outbreak.
SALEM — A former Salem police officer will serve two-and-a-half years in prison for soliciting sexual favors in exchange for the promise of lenient sentences, and planning the acts with a cooperating defendant in Carroll County.
In December 2014, former police detective Kevin Christopher Moore of Roanoke County pleaded guilty to soliciting and receiving sexual favors from a cooperating defendant, in exchange for recommending a more lenient sentence.

I had been interested in eating here for quite some time after reading the reviews. I decided to take a night alone while the rest of my party went to a different restaurant. I took a leisurely stroll on the beach and walked up to the deck of Crabby Steves. The Crabby Punch drink I ordered was great. I had the swordfish and fries. I am not usually a fan of any fish that is not fried. But, it was excellent. I loved everything about it. It is a very casual environment. As people came and left I heard them all commenting on how good their meal was. Can not wait to visit again!!!

How long after planting out will my Zinnia flower?
Dear Garden Folk
If I plant my seedlings out 6-8 weeks after starting (per 'From Seed to Bloom') how long will it take for the seedlings to flower?
Thanks so much!
Dear Dave
I'm sorry (to be stupid) but I don't quite understand your post. If I start them now (in pods) how long before they flower? Do you mean 4-6 weeks after they are healthy (i hope) seedlings?
I'm growing Sunbow with a maturity date of 90 days and Oklahoma which says it flowers for 12 weeks.
I don't start from seeds in the garden as I am in a condo and don't have enough access to tend to them properly.
No problem. The two methods of growing from seed are
(1) after threat of frost has passed, plant the seeds outside directly in the ground or the container they will be growing in all season or
(2) start them indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date in small containers and then when 6-8" tall and threat of frost has passed, transplant (move) them to their permanent growing place outside.
With zinnas, because they grow so fast and because they don't really like to be transplanted, most folks direct seed them (method 1) in their permanent growing spot/container. But from your original post I read that you started your seedlings indoors or method 2, correct? If so then your zinnias will bloom approx. 4 weeks after you plant them outside.
If you use method 1 zinnias will bloom 6-8 weeks after the seeds are planted. But if you use method 2 they will bloom 4-6 weeks AFTER they are transplanted outside depending on the weather and their growing conditions.
The reason for the difference is that DTM (days to maturity/bloom) is figured from the date they are planted in their permanent place and NOT from the day you plant the seed inside. The growing conditions are very different and moving the plant - changing its growing conditions - from one to another causes it to switch gears (if you will), what is called "setting the plant back". How much the delay is increased depends on the variety. The smaller, dwarf varieties recover faster than the big ones do.
Hope this helps.
Curious⦠if i went 50/50 would i get better results?
what if i started them indoors and transplanted them as soon as they come up or maybe after the first set of true leaves.
how would that work out? Would they still suffer the "setting the plant back" syndrome?
I am not a zinnia expert by any means but I started some from seed indoors on Feb 1st. A few Thumbelina, White Wedding and Purple Prince. At about 6" tall some of them started developing flower buds and still are developing them. I keep pinching them off and pinching off the growing tip after a couple pairs of leaves form to get them to branch out and to keep them from getting too big before I can put them outdoors.
I sometimes start things way too early.
I direct sow a large patch of tall Zinnias every year, usually a mix of tall varieties like Cut & Come Again, State Fair, and others. These are heat-lovers, so I direct sow them around June 1st when the soil warms up. By mid to late July, they are starting to bloom, so about 6-8 weeks? Maybe sooner if they were in full sun, I have a lot of trees so mine grow in 4-6 hours sun, not quite full sun.
Btw, there are many other methods of growing from seed besides the 2 listed above. I.e. winter-sowing with recycled containers, using a greenhouse, cold frame, or hoop house, frost-seeding, growing on a sunny windowsill, etc.
"...if I went 50/50 would I get better results? What if I started them indoors and transplanted them as soon as they come up or maybe after the first set of true leaves. How would that work out? Would they still suffer the "setting the plant back" syndrome?"
As others have said, zinnias grow fast and bloom in 6 to 8 weeks. They tend to outgrow any of those little starting pots in about three weeks. So starting them three weeks early and then setting them out would be a better plan than starting them 6-8 weeks early.
Dale - any time you change the environment, the growing conditions, of a growing thing it is "set back", it must adjust. "Changing its growing conditions" includes transplanting at any stage, changing its soil, its air temps both day or night, its sun exposure, its nutrient levels, pinching/pruning, etc.
If you are trying to force the blooms for some reason, if by 'better results' you mean faster blooming then the shortest time frame between seed and a bloom is with direct seeding the plant right where it will spend its life. Any other approach interrupts the growth process.
Btw, there are many other methods of growing from seed besides the 2 listed above. I.e. winter-sowing with recycled containers, using a greenhouse, cold frame, or hoop house, frost-seeding, growing on a sunny windowsill, etc
The 2 methods of growing from seed are direct seeding or growing under cover, what I mistakenly called "indoors". All the other methods you mention are under cover methods and all, even winter sowing, involve a change in the growing conditions.
Frost seeding is done outdoors during the late fall or winter. It works great for prairies and meadows, also for turf grass. I sow grass seed during the winter, the best time being right before a snow storm.
I do a little growing under lights, but do almost all the annuals and veggies in cups or small pots, lined up in trays or plastic boxes, along the south side of the foundation of the house. They don't have covers, except perhaps the overhang on the roof, which isn't very big. This spot has the advantage of being one of the warmest microclimates in the yard, protected from frost by the concrete foundation, and gets pretty good sun, at least until the canopy trees fill in with leaves in May, then it's only partial sun.
Thanks everyone for their thoughts! and pics (terrene�good to see direct sowing in action)
in light of all this experience...i�m going to do an experiment
direct sow some, put out some after the 1st true leaves and transplant some after they hit 6"
and the race is on!! (will be, anyway)
Terrence- the zinnia seeds that I planted directly in the ground are starting to look just like yours in your picture! I noticed that you have a plant that doesn't look the the zinnias that has much narrower glossy smooth leaves on the lower edge of your picture. I have one of those mixed in with my zinnias-do you know what it is?
