My elderly neighbor passed away earlier this year. I went to her garden this fall and harvested hundreds of Marigold seeds. Gonna keep them going.

@GrowVeg 8 месяцев назад

That will be a lovely memory of her - what a great idea.

We always planted marigolds and tomatoes together when I was a kid and the combined smell just says summer to me! I love grow marigolds all over the garden and yard. Last year we had a plethora of pollinators as a result! And they bloomed well into October!

They're such hard-working bloomers they really are Lauren. :-)

@@GrowVeg first time I grew them in a area that had chicken manure from year before marigolds grew like bushes 😯🏵️🐓 everyone asked me for seeds from them and some chicken manure+bedding, to be honest the area where our first few chickens were grew gigantic weed's literally the stems were like a coffee mug n I had to use a axe to chop them at the base, luckily I've invested in black plastic sheeting now but I absolutely love being in garden around plants and our little chickens 😊👍

Ooh good one,I had a bad infestation of mares tail and took a few years digging the roots out and marigolds have been a favourite I now sow and plant on my back garden, and only odd mares tail pops up there but I'm gonna try it on my front garden and see if it helps keep them away after annual root pulling up lol, but thank you for your tip and it makes sense to me ☺️👍

@mrsjuliasmith3433 Год назад

Yes Sir! Couldn't agree with you more! I always buy a little at my local garden center early in the season so I already have some in bloom to help deter pests early on in the season then add in my own home grown ones that haven't bloomed yet a little later on. I also direct seed some too in random spots that have extra space and dig them up to be transplanted wherever needed. I companion plant them with ALL of my edibles.

@GrowVeg Год назад

That's a great way to keep the blooms coming and ensure they're always about - I like your technique. :-)

@catezaida8081 Год назад

I use them around my cabbages. Cabbage beetles hate marigolds. Best way I have found for my situation, is to plant the cabbage in a cinder block container with squares up, two cinder blocks wide and plant the cabbage in the middle and the marigolds in each hole. Works like a charm!

Great idea!

Love them🌼🏵 Tagetes lemmonii is a great one too, th3 leaves are meant to smell like passionfruit While this plant has similar effects much like other marigolds, it also is a fabulous plant that has a more extended flowering period, from autumn right through to winter. It has beautiful yellow daisy flowers and is well known for its leaves. They possess an aroma which can be easily smelt when the wind passes over the foliage, or when the leaves are crushed. It smells like ripe passion-fruit! It is also a drought tolerant plant for a sunny position. It makes for a great addition to any permaculture garden -

Marigolds are such a vital flowers for Hindu festival Diwali in october-November month. We string them and put the garland on door frames for decoration for festivals. After few days the dried flowers can be crushed with fingers and the seeds scattered on tge ground. They just grow easily with adequate watering.
