I went shopping today with mom and picked up a few marigolds for the garden this year.

Tag: Tagetes fully double blooms on semidwarf plants. Early. Use in pots, beds. Plant in full sun 12″ apart.

Big Balls

I broke down and bought two flats of Marigolds a couple of weeks ago for the Vegetable Garden. They are supposed to help protect against bad bugs because of their strong odor. At the garden center you could pick and choose the ones you wanted for your flat, so I got a variety of different kinds. They really do brighten up the garden! And surprisingly I haven’t seen any major bugs since setting them out! I guess I was really skeptical about it…but so far it’s working excellent!
