lol… I wish my marigolds would do that! I love plants that reseed… just let them grow and all you gotta do is pull the ones you don’t want… and fill in with the others… but, it’s good to know if you absolutely don’t want this. I have a hard time with marigolds… so… this would make me very happy!
That actually would be a nice auto-planting technique. You can get the soil right then let the seeds do their thing. I'm sure when you go to your off-grid location, they will bloom like never before 💚❤
We planted California Poppies in one area & they re-seeded -- spreading all over the yard. It was pretty with all the bright flowers. (Eventually, they died back & the plants had to be pulled up, but I'm sure they will be popping up again from the seeds.)
I bought marigold seeds ONCE, several years ago, and have been saving seed ever since. I leave the dead flower pods to dry naturally until about October (in Michigan). The I choose the most healthy-looking fat pods to get seeds from. One pod will yield at least 30+ seeds, so if you were to plant ALL of the seeds from just one plant, you could cover probably an acre with marigolds.
Hey,your marigolds are beautiful..I save my seeds for the next year..I plant all my veg,flowers,fruits plants(anything that grows basically 🤣🤣)etc etc.. I felt quite proud growing my marigolds from last year seeds,do the same with my poppy & cornflower & cosmos,well basically anything that seeds my tomato, chill,what ever seed I can save I do.. Thankyou for sharing,really appreciate it..Have a blessed day & take care ✌️☮️🍄🌱🐞💜✌️☮️🍄🌱🐞💜
@@skullrose8985 yep, the seasons of seed collection really make one feel self sufficient and ready for any apocalypse 😁😂This will be my first time growing cosmos, I will definitely save the seeds... I feel you on collecting all seeds 😂😂it really becomes second nature, even a nice fruit that I eat always tempts me to save the seed... thank you for joining this gardening community, happy gardening to you too. Take care 💚❤💚
I realized that this video had nothing to do with my garden-I live in the desert and if I don’t water seedlings twice a day they die! But your voice was so lovely and calm and you are so knowledgeable that I watched the video all the way through! Thank you!
@@Vixxiegurl I’ve tried starting seeds inside, but then it’s tough to make the transition to the blistering heat and direct sun of the outside. So I now plant them directly outside and make sure they get water at least twice a day and that usually works. This was our hottest summer on record and I lost a few plants when temps went above 120°F and the nights only got down to the high 90s. It was brutal! And we haven’t seen a drop of rain since early March. So I feel your pain!
@@nature_secret_vault_za Zone 4 northern VT - This was my first year growing them. They grew 3 feet tall, I had no idea they did that. I have mass quantities of seeds now, I may try spreading some of them in a spot, cover with mulch and see if any can overwinter, it will be interesting to see what happens.
@@bellepfeiffer3630wow that was a big bush of marigold. If your winters are not as cold, they should be fine, when I grow them in winter they are fine, but this year we had consecutive frost so they browned but only to wake up and keep blooming in spring. Goodluck 💚❤💚
Sorry, I'm not agree. Marigolds are very useful for the garden. Marigolds improve the composition of the soil and are used to prepare compost or liquid fertilizer, as mulch or as a component in the preparation of solutions used to treat vegetable crops. Most gardeners recommend adding marigold tops to the compost pit, as marigolds inhibit pathogenic bacteria and destroy cockchafer larvae. I use remains of marigold for compost and for soil. If you don't want seeds, just cut them.
