Reduced plants: I always check that section out. I bought a six pack of sedum that was all rotted and propagated from the leaves... Still growing them over a decade later! Same goes for many of my cacti, succulents, and shrubs! The key is finding out what you can save and what's better left to the compost pile, as you said! 👍👍

I grow French marigolds every year from Lowe's. I wondered how my grandmother harvested the seeds. I watched her collect them. I was younger than 7 years . Put them in cloth hang on a nail in the shed. Now I see I've been throwing away seeds when I deadhead all these summers. T y.

[@carries.9919]

You are going to laugh at this but I went to Lowe's this morning and found some marigolds on the discount rack for 1.00 each. They are the jumbo flowered ones. Can I also save the seeds from those? It's so nice to have someone on KZbin from the south because I live in southern Alabama and sometimes it's frustrating to grow things in the high humidity. Today I also found some Shasta daisies there at a discount and I was hoping they will grow here. If you could show us what grows well in the south it would be nice. Thanks again for all your help.

These grow all year down here in FL zone 9b. They really take off in spring and fall though. My dad taught me how to plant these and collect their seeds when I was a little girl. They’re the easiest flowers on earth to grow. You’re right about them being forgiving. They’re very tough! I bought some really good quality ones this year from Botanical Interests that say they’re edible on the package and I’m going to eat them in my salads this year. I spent all yesterday morning transplanting the seedlings into their own containers. I use them as a border around my patios to deter pests (along with rosemary) and also plant them in with my tomatoes and certain veggies to help protect them also. 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

You are lucky that they grow all year. Yes once you start collecting those seeds you never have to buy them again.

[@juanitahughes3289]

I had one marigold I thought I had lost and was going to put something else in the pot but when I looked at it it was covered with dozens of self seeded seedlings. I carefully washed the seedlings to separate without too much damage to the roots. I planted several together and got 6 massive plants in my vege garden, the only one that didn't survive was smothered by the sweet potatoes when they overgrew the position. Later I had some in two small pot which the plants had reach the end of their lives. My harvesting and planting was far less difficult than in this video. I removed the dead heads from the dying plants, rubbed the flowers between my fingers to expose the seeds and dropped the seed bunch on top of the soil damp from recent rain, that's it. Now I have masses of seedlings, which has already given a flower from the first seedling to emerge. It would be hard to not get marigolds endlessly.

Hi. I just found your videos...thank you. I have a question. I am pretty new to gardening (this is just my 2nd year). I want to plant marigolds to determine pests. Do I have to put them directly in my raised beds in order for that to work or can they just be nearby. If I plant them in my beds with they keep pests put of that area of the yard or just out of the beds? I think I'm not going to be a very poor gardener because I am TERRIFIED of snakes...even if they are little ones. 😢. I don't mind bugs but snakes scare me. Any ideas?

[@auyannaplants]

Let me tell you....I am terrified of snakes but we have them every year. The only year we did not have any is when the neighbors had a cat. You can direct sow them in the ground when the time is right or you can start them in cell trays. I plant them around my garden like as a border to help with the pest because they give off a scent that many pests do not like but I will be honest....I am not sure if they will keep out snakes.

[@emeraldwaters7289]

A couple questions for you You pinched off the heads after that had turned brown and closed up. The marigold heads I gathered for seeds were "spent" but I was dead heading the plant to help regenerate growth... would those seeds still b as viable? I had gathered them over and year ago but getting myself organized now for winter. I'm in zone 6b/7a so will be starting seeds probably around Feb-ish... My real question was if I want to start these in my homemade seed starter tubes... how would I place them in soil? Vertically, horizontally or does it matter - does it matter which end is up or down?

[@auyannaplants]

I have a container and I just sprinkle them on the soil and cover them lightly and they germinate just fine. They do not have to be in a certain position. Once they are big enough in the container I carefully remove them one by one and place them where I would like them to go. I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching.

Glad you watched the whole video because marigold is definitely a flower that you can grow in your garden each season because the seeds are so easy to save. Thank you so much for watching!

Thanks so much for watching!

Dang! What am I doing wrong? I've tried growing them from seed - both seeds I've saved, as well as purchased - and had ZERO success! I've also had serious troubles with small seedlings I've purchased getting destroyed by slugs. They seem way more finicky to me.

[@auyannaplants]

So sorry to hear that. We just plant them in cell trays and keep them moist until they germinate. Some people even sprinkle them throughout the garden and they pop up nice. I hope you have better luck planting them this season. Thank you so much for watching!

@@auyannaplants Well, that's what I did...but oh well! I'll keep trying!

[@cm-xq5zj]

@@jellyroll2102 I just spread them in the garden. Lightly cover with soil. It takes a while for them to come up sometimes.

@@auyannaplants lol I don't think anyone knows this quote from a certain movie lol. So whenever I see Marigolds and/or Peonies I think of the quote from the movie.

Takes too long for them to grow up here in the northwest

[@auyannaplants]

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Thank you so much for watching!

Thanks for watching😀

For years I have been trying to grow marigolds but they just won't grow for me.

[@auyannaplants]

Oh now sorry to hear that. Do you start them from seeds?

[@neesargon3497]

I try to!

[@enemyofmyenemy6713]

they keep insect pests away if you use as companion plants fruits/ veggies, aphids, knats, spiders ect

[@auyannaplants]

YES!!! I plant them around the perimeter of my garden every year. Thank you so much for watching!

[@grash4435]

You get difrent colour of the flowers, because you got seeds from hybrid.

[@auyannaplants]

Yes! Thank you so much for watching!

[@mealbla7097]

You dont have to replant because they will come back every year if you don't pull out by roots
