Need some advice, please. I'm in NY and these two raised beds are my only full sun areas. I had four zinnias make it in this 18" x 36" bed. Their spacing is not ideal but these are the ones that ended up making it. Last year I had four of these in the corners and it was really dense. I want to maximize my only fun sun area. Any advice? I was thinking I could transplant some into a container on my steps after they grow a little bit more.

Bed 2: African marigolds. These are the two that survived and the little one is growing straight toward the big one. The bed is 18×24. Is using stakes to manage the growth good enough?

Any advice would be helpful. I'm very grateful for your time. Each year I am learning more. I started all these from seeds indoors but the person who took care of them while we were on vacation this spring accidentally killed 90% of them. Oof.

    Dumb question: is the rubber snake to keep away birds and critters? I’m sorry I don’t have advice for your marigolds
