Saving Marigolds Seeds-How To collect seeds And Never Buy Marigolds Again 

Hey plant fam! When selecting seeds for germinating pick the largest firmest seeds out of your seeds for better chances to germinate 🌻

If y'all didn't already know, marigolds aren't pest-proof at all but they do have a special talent. They attract tiny parasitic wasps that eat aphids and lay their eggs in the larvae of whiteflies, moths, mealybugs, and stinkbugs. So marigolds don't repel pests, they call in targeted airstrikes on them.

I knew how to do this already, but I watched the whole video because I just love your voice and content. Lol!

Thank you for the close up of taking the seeds out - what I was searching for!

I just planted African marigold for the first time last week and I was really surprised how the seeds look. I am excited to see the flowers! Thanks for sharing!

Yes. Plant marigolds everywhere.

my mom always had marigolds and therefore so do i every summer. when you pulled in close to show the 'yanking' of the flower head it blew my mind and exclaimed out loud 'wow!!! i never knew that!!!' g'job 👍 😃

Thank you for sharing this information. I have watch many videos on Marigolds but you made this one very simple to understand.

Best video yet on saving Margold seeds! Thank you!!!

Recently I spent a small fortune on geraniums only to have something (deer, rabbits, ???) eat them. Next year I'm planting marigolds. Thanks for the information.

Wow thanks for this. Im going to do this with the plant I got this spring and hopefully I wont have to buy any of them next spring.

my goofy behind just discovered this today! I pull off the heads as they die, then realized how many seeds I had from just one flower. So, I started saving the seeds today! I'll dry them all out and no doubt add a few seeds in the empty spaces where I've placed my roses this year. If for next year some of my marigolds die off, I'll have seeds to replant. We shall see how it goes. It gets cold and wet where I am and sometimes it'll rain more than I think it should causing root rot, so hopefully, harvesting these seeds will allow me to keep growing marigold in the Spring and perhaps into Fall. Maybe beyond that, depends on the frost. Thank you for this video. Took me a minute to find you and what I wanted to know specifically.

Warm green marigold leaves, extract juice. Great for earache. Two drops per ear. Very effective.

THE ADHD GARDENER.... Well done 🤗 you have given me a new outlook on flower 🌼 gardening 🥰 I was about to give up and place plastic flowers 💐 in my flower 🌼 bed. I just recently threw out ALL of my dried 😩 out Miragolds. Thank you 😊 so much for this very informative video 📹

I just harvested my marigold seeds thanks for your informative video

I am with you on the standard yellow Marigolds. I like the multicolored ones. Orange Flame (orange center with red petals that have an orange trim) and Red Knight (yellow/gold center with red petals trimmed in yellow) are pretty!

I absolutely do not like purchasing marigold starters, I never know if it'll grow to the sizes I desire! Thanks so much for your video, it's right in time for me to harvest the seeds this fall of 2022.

Hey thanks for the video, my mother told me about the flower tops for seeds so i did a little bit more reserach.

... went with a million marigolds one year was great theme ... love how the group of seeds stay together in their flower holder while they cure ...

Thanks for a great video on marigolds seeds saving. How do you prevent squirrels from munching on the flowers? Really annoying to find a plant of marigolds with no flowers! Thanks for your advice in advance.

Very, very good. I learned what the seed part of a marigold is and your upclose camera views did just that. Also I learned from you marigolds come in purple.

all the information I was looking for was in this video. thank you

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.

Very informative video...Thank you! One question, do I have to pull the white parts off of the black seeds or can I leave that part on there?

I just dead headed my marigolds and decided how to harvest.....your video popped up first. You gotta like and anew sub. Thank you. Besides marigolds I'm also in to gardening and indoor plants. Just a few hobbies that kinda clustered 😂.

Great video. I am currently drying the dead heads for next spring. What is the best way to store them? A jar or envelope maybe. Thanks for the great video.

I just wanted to leave this comment and say your attitude and mood, even your ‘accent’ makes me feel at home. Like a good friend. New subscriber here ❤️

Hi iam Brett and I love merrigolds

LOL! I prefer the yellow and variegated to the solid orange 😁. Thanks for the info.

I LOVE marigolds

This was so helpful, I thought to myself hmmm maybe I'll follow her channel... then I saw the name! ADHD Gardenere! Instant follow, haha! Love it, keep up the good work. :)

the other day bought some seeds, whilst simultaneously ripping out some that died early for some reason, not knowing all those little long wheat looking things was seeds haha. I'm gonna go see if I get any now, thank you!

How long are the seeds good for? Can I collect seeds from dried-up pods in September and plant them NEXT SPRING?

My first seed remover video. Perfect and thanks for sharing

Last year in the fall, I left my marigolds where I planted them all winter. In the spring I took them out after takeing the seeds out. Now I have tons of marigolds coming back.

Thank you. I just learned how to collect the seeds and I'm planning to plant the for the 2022 season. How early should I plant them indoors under lighting? Liked and Subscribed.

I really enjoyed listening to you, thanks for the info!

Great video!! Do you think you’d be able to a video about how you can use just plain marigolds for medical uses?

so once you get all the black seeds aside, do you have to pull off the white part at the end, or can you just put both parts in to grow? I loved your video and voice/narrative style, thank you for posting this video.

What a great video i wanted to grow some for day of the dead next year.

Awesome video. Answered every question. I agree about yellow marigolds. Why buy flowers that look like dandelions lol. I subscribed. Peace!

Thanks for sharing your talent

Just subbed. Love the attitude. Can't wait to see more videos.

Great. Thank you for sharing

This is awesome! Thanks!

I have the orange marigolds. Probably the ugly ones you don’t like. 😂 Fun learning video. I’m not ADHD, but I am OCDish. 😜

Cool I am gonna sub to your channel . Congrats on sobriety . God bless you . Plants are rewarding

Thank you for your valuable information! :) I also love to plant flowers and I have marigolds that I grew from purchased seeds. I would like to propagate them so I can give them away to friends as gifts. I live in Germany and my zone is 8b. Could you give me some advice on how to propagate marigolds from stems...and can I plant the seeds in the winter? Thank you in advance.

Crispy dead. I love it!

Thank you for sharing, peace and love to you too🥰👌🏾💖💕💞😘😘. Subscribed ASAP love love this marigold. You are awesome. 😀👍🏾

Love it! Thank you, subscribed!

that was super helpful and useful. subscribed!

Just found out today about pulling the seeds from dried marigold flowers. It’s May and I want to put some in my garden. Can they be planted this year? Also if I put them in/around my garden to keep pests away will this keep bees and butterflies from germinating my veggies?

Thank you so much! 💗💗 you made it clear

I think you're great thanks for your help xxx

Marigolds give hundreds of seeds! Thank you!

Nice experience presentation

Iam planning to grow a native marrigold thanks to u mam

I don't know what that is but i'm enjoying your videos 😁

I was able to harvest them, but it is a bit challenging for me to germinate my seeds.

Wow thanks! :)

Jump to 3:00 for the specs you searched for

Cool

I am in the process of harvesting my Marigold seeds for next year (2023). Is there anything I should do BEFORE, I plant them next year? Should I put them in darkness during the winter months? Is it ok to store them in a glass jar? Should they be completely dry before I store them?

I signed up

Can I pinch off the dead flowers from my marigolds and stick them in my dehydrator to dry them out faster?

Man time to start to pick the dead flowers at the restraunts!

In india the homes are decorated with marigolds so i just some of the dried ones and pop em into the pots 😂

I don’t like the orange ones. I like the yellow and yellow with red spots on them..🌼🌼

Very nice ❤❤❤pakisten 🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅

What’s the latest time of the year I can sow marigold seeds? How long does it take for a marigold to grow from seed to maturity? Thanks in advance!

Are there other uses for the seeds other than keeping them to plant next year? I read a blog some gal made that said she fed them to her chickens, so I'm collecting some for my friend's three chickens. Other than that I don't know what to do with all of the seed I have. O-O

You are so funny ❤️❤️🤣🤣

Can u upload next part. Like how you keep them alive for months. As I am in Pakistan and Summer last for like 8 to 9 months.

Can you only harvest seeds at the end of the plant's lifecycle, or can you also harvest the seeds throughout the lifecycle once you see certain flowers die off (deadheading I guess)? Thank you so much!

I've planted Marigold Seed's and they never came up they're first or second generation, in fact they are store bought Seed's , they got plenty of Sun and water, and plant food mix, so please tell me what I did wrong

Hi..is it best to save seeds in the fall before a hard frost than saving the first set of seeds..i think the seeds are probably best as the plant ages? That's my theory..i could be wrong..also..the seeds should be hard and not bendable right?thank you

From Dead to live Again?

Okay so I just started 6 marigolds 2 are sprouting right( you know like you can see the green loop) and 2 look like just a brown stick barely poking out right now and the last two, nothing yet. So my question is: is there an "upside down" way to plant the seed?

I have marigold farm👍

Forgive me if this question was already asked. How do I plant the marigold seeds ?
