★ How to Grow Marigolds from Seed (A Complete Step by Step Guide)

[@swaleyko]

“I don’t like wasting seeds and I like to give each seedling the best start in life” 😭❤️ This is exactly how I feel but have never been able to find the words for it!

[@Neyobe]

swaleyko I know right!

[@crispychaos6768]

I bought some Marigolds from Home Depot yesterday and I picked the one that looked like it needed help the most. I mean there were ones that look more beautiful, taller, and fully bloomed but I know what they do to plants if they don't sell. They turn them into mulch.

[@mariammaatouk179]

Can we re-use a seed that did not grow after the thinning process?

[@wings_of_darkness333]

I can relate to giving seeds a good start, bc life should be fair for ever living thing

[@pollypeguin]

Better to wait seeds add to make sure you get plants growing which will produce blues word for produce more seats for next year

[@evernight4ever]

I’m over here trying to buy a watering can less than $25+ and here he is pulling out a diy a awesome watering milk jug!! My mind has been blown!!!!!

[@tiffanytoorie2937]

I set 50 nurseries a few days ago and have 3 shoots....idk if I compacted the soil to much but it's my first time ever planting a seed and I'm just so grateful for my 3 signs of life😍😍

[@janeb8046]

Your flowers are so pretty but, what's even more precious is your outdoor scenery that kid in the swing. Priceless!!!!

[@ellisterrell6304]

The best method in planting Marigolds is to: prepare the garden bed with good compost, exceptional drainage, and most of all (direct sow) seeds on to soil and cover lightly. This video is the epitome of all Marigold growing, especially for growing each plant individual to direct place into specific gardening areas. Impressive production!!!

[@tofu4375]

I love marigold, they're really easy to grow. Just plop them in dirt, cover them lightly, and water once everyday. :)

[@BrenHaas]

Well done.. there are so many great varieties out there. I like to use the marigolds around my tomatoes because I SWEAR it keeps the bad bugs away from my vegetables.

[@jamielrich1017]

Good video. That bird sure sounds happy outside, its beautiful.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

Great vid. Last year (2021) all but a few of my French Marigolds failed to germinate. So I sowed some more but as a backup, planted Calendula straight into the garden. The Calendula were fantastic! Grew well and helped to fill the garden's gaps.

[@HannaPramholt]

Hi! Love your videos I think I've watched all of them in just a week 😅 it would be awesome if you did a video on what veggies and flowers to plant next to each other ( in the same container or separate?) like a good order to plant them in, which ones grow well together and help each other and so on 😁 would be super helpful!

[@jason8360]

I love your attention to detail. I also like your marigolds very much. I have been planting them around my tomatoes for a few seasons now. This year I started from seed in small greenhouse. They germinate fine and grew very fast and green. But they are over 1 foot tall and still no flowers. Have I missed something? Maybe you have suggestions. Thanks for your advice . I'm in Southern 🇺🇸

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

Grow marigolds for the bees.🐝 They really love them. Almost every year we get volunteer marigolds.They readily self seed. One of the most enjoyable things I ever did was collect lots and lots of marigolds petals and make a light yellow dye to dip a skein of wool into. Fun!

[@blueblossomblues]

This is the best and most comfortable scoop ever! I’ve tried it before but copied your shape this time and it is sooo handy!

[@Elizabeth-ey5nl]

Thank you!!So helpful Happy Marigolds!!

[@MarkMcMillen2112]

I plant marigold seeds every year and I usually get only a small percentage to germinate. But the ones that do grow usually do quite well.

[@ProjectDiaries]

I had the worst year growing them this year but last year I managed to germinate almost every seed I planted. Well done :)

[@old-fashionedcoughypot]

Ordered some white marigold seeds from Ukraine on the eBay l am going to start this weekend. This video is just what l needed to start my seeds. Thank you.

[@mrockefeller10mr]

Loved this video. Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheKEDW]

What a fantastic video! I love marigolds! I immediately subscribed after watching this!

[@rish_mac]

love your videos!😊 i also have marigolds but they are still seedlings.. can't wait for it to grow and bloom.. could you please make a video on how to grow cosmos and zinnias from seeds?

[@ProjectDiaries]

I was literally looking at Zinnia seeds with Grandad today. I will wait for autumn sales and do many flower videos for spring next year :)

[@Annie-to8ef]

Today it was my first time that i took the seeds from my dried marigoldflower. Next year i will try to plant them myself. I hope i can do this too

[@pershop4950]

Less than 1/2 germinating is exactly why someone wants to put 2-3 seeds or more in each cell. Seeds from a packet may be a small amount but if you're planting from your own seeds that you collected, you can get an idea of how many seeds you can collect easily from last year.

[@jeanskilling708]

I like all your recycled planting equipment. It almost matches mine.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thank you! :)

[@HealthyVeganLiving]

Hi, I truly loved this video, new gardener and Vegan too. So I am trying to start my own garden and beat the pandemic problem we have in the States. I plan to subscribe too and learn from you too. Thanks for this fine video. 👍 Gary

[@antoinettegainous4883]

Excellent video. Answered all my questions. Thanks.

[@dwdanceStudio]

Great vid Doing lots of marigolds Since 1999. This is a good vid to start and learn as you go alone. - Hans Clearwater, Florida

[@clarissamiles]

I'm planting seeds right now while watching you! Wish me luck:)

[@wagnermarinho4972]

I like marigolds, I've got a few of them in a large pot in my container arrangement. Their vibrant colors, heat and even some drought tolerance makes them easy to grow and to look at. My variety of marigolds doesn't "stink", and quite the opposite smells kinda good, the only problem is that they have a short lifespan. Hopefully I'll collect some seeds and follow you guide to grow a couple of them to ensure I'll have more marigolds for the end of the summer. (I live in the southern hemisphere)

[@maeterith1984]

Gorgeous blackbird singing away. I love your video. So easy to follow. Thanks

[@fafunvideography]

That swing in background looks fun!

[@monicamayer977]

I bought a flat of these. Yellow and gold. Gold did so well, I loved them. Going to grow them again. A bunch together makes a big color splash

[@DIYProjectsByDave]

Thank you! Let me go to save some seeds now and start growing!

[@kerryread3653]

Your tips are great. Thanks.

[@sunshinegirl4101]

My sister gave me marigold seeds one year and I planted them in spring and had lots of flowers. Then in the fall I picked the dried flowers and planted the seeds from my last years flowers and again had lots of marigolds. I' m hoping I have good luck this spring may have planted them to soon. We had an unexpected cold spell but I did see some popping out of the ground.

[@charlesbale8376]

Enjoyed the video and appreciated the information.

[@mikaylalocklear1919]

Awesome tutorial!! Literally everything I needed to know❤ thanks!!

[@ajdexter4195]

i love your vids they are so helpfull as they are step by step other grading channels show the seed being sown then come back to it when its fully grown keep up the good work

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thank you! :)

[@thecyclingcouple4438]

great video mate as usual. started my own marigold as companion plants for my veggies. they are now about 2-3weeks old. cant wait for them to flowers

[@theknockoutladysaint23]

Definitely going to plant these now. I have several of the plants you listed as ideal companions

[@haych9803]

Thanks to project diaries I was wondering how I would grow marigolds now I have a solution 👍🏻

[@ProjectDiaries]

You're welcome. Good luck trying this :)

[@haych9803]

Project Diaries is the best in gardening

[@jackfreaking]

great vid. thanks. planted my first Marigolds:)

[@shineisland7447]

This is helpful, I never knew which end of the seed to put down. Thought any direction worked I still wanted to know which was “supposed” to go down. I guess it doesn’t matter, mystery solved. 👍

[@wild-hernessaerialist6440]

So clever! Great video!

[@MJ-sk7pv]

i have planted some couple weeks ago and i now have 3 little green guys growing. they started dying in my small jar so i just transferred them to a bigger pot. let’s hope they grow !

[@puppetlady1]

I plant these every year because they are easy to grow, are fairly hardy and look nice in the gardens. When i transplant the seedling, I put 2-1/8 inch drainage holes in the bottom of the pot so they can be then used like a container variety.

[@madsottinsen7707]

Put some marigold seeds in a an empty milkcan two days ago, already started to grow. :) Regards from Norway. :)

[@Shuoace]

Keep this in mind people: *"Plants need us just as much as we need them."*

[@supernitrosgamingsng6582]

It’s called interdependence

[@sensa5645]

I just subscribed to your channel and I love your videos very much. I am going to plant my marigold seeds in little pots like the one you have. This is my first time planting from seeds. Your video was very helpful. Thank you so much. 😊🇨🇦💯👍

[@sandralaird5386]

Thanks Lee, my marigolds drowned this year we have had constant rain for months. First year I ve not had any. I ll try again next year.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Mine did just after finishing this video so I didn't get to harvest and seeds for next year. Only reason I didn't add it on to the end. Lets hope so!

[@shagunkhandelwal960]

Flowers arrived,,,on so many small plants,, grt 😎😎👏👏👍👍

[@ProjectDiaries]

Yay! Well done :)

[@foxybuddy]

So beautiful, gardeners would like them

[@janettempest716]

Well done I love them I like the variegated ones 🤩😇🤩

[@tomjustice7610]

Great information! Thank you. What did you add to your water that makes it green?

[@AJediSurvivor]

Great video. I've currently got some apple trees and black cherry trees growing in my bedroom window. I'm kind of nervous about putting them outside, as we've had some pretty awful weather. I don't really wanna put them outside in case the weather kills them off, but I don't want to leave them in the window in case they go leggy.

[@AB-yy9iz]

I live in Florida where the weather it’s always hot, do you recommend me to leave the seed tray outside? Great video!!! Can’t wait to plant my seeds!

[@am107am7]

thank for this video project diaries marigolds look beautiful

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thank you! They are so colourful :)

[@am107am7]

thanks i think iam going to buy some seeds

[@ProjectDiaries]

Great! Use the links in the description box if it helps :)

[@tahminapondit3272]

So nice marigolds thanks for sharing

[@freddieivory625]

Great tips and thank you for sharing!

[@dj-defusion7862]

Dont burrie the seeds.. keep the White top above the soil and stick the rest like a dart in the soil. Then they wil all come up

[@chandrawhite7904]

plarium inc thanks for that info!

[@blackhippie6312]

Thanks, i remembered this from the past but needed someone to tell me which side. Thanks

[@tonyaharper5464]

I did not know that. Thank you for that info!

[@Handmadeandhomemade555]

Ohh

[@looperc358]

Fml! Why did the seed packet not say that??

[@davemould8261]

Hi Lee...do you not top-out your marigold plants (as pepper plants) as that makes such a bushy plant, as well as growing them on in the greenhouse with toms to keep pests down...keep ‘em coming mate.

[@green_enigma]

I love your tutorial videos! Thanks so much ☺️

[@tinameschko]

Wow! Great info. Thank you. Well done. Subscribing!

[@kathya1956]

I’ve been sowing this by sticking the point down into the soil!

[@wendylove4232]

I'm wondering what you mixed in with your water?

[@stephenhope7319]

Great video. I learned that I put my marigold plants out too early. They got chewed up. I need to wait another few weeks to get at least some flowers showing.

[@beautifulmemorieswithdrdeepti]

Very nice blooms

[@michellesida3274]

The watering , do I water them once awhile like once a week ? My temperature for this week is around 60

[@tnasr3254]

He claimed that Marigolds repel a tomato pest but in reality they secrete chemicals in the soil that act as an excellent all-round pest repellent and last for years.

[@annsmith2520]

That’s great to know!

[@sindirodriguez1030]

I’m petrified of worms and caterpillars! Will these guys keep them away?! 😭

[@rezaamini2388]

WATZ MATE. thank u for ur tip on leaving my Avacado water unchanged and only topping it up as in a week the roots have eventually showed up after 8 weeks of waiting. I'm so chuffed as this is the first time I ever grown anything. It's so satisfying. It's like it baby u keep checking on the plant and caring for it and when u get result it puts a big smile on ur face. Cheers dude. BTW as summer is finished in this country a month ago really :( when should I start to go Marigold for next year? MARCH?

[@ruthwilcox1959]

How did you make the scoop and watering bottle?

[@jayamilapersson4030]

My mom has a very different way of planting marigolds and getting them to germinate she spread the seeds out on an inch or two of soil in containers that are about 4 inches deep then water them then she puts an old newspaper on top that she waters it smells a bit but the paper acts like the earth you covered the seeds with when the seedlings grown so much they touch the paper she removed it and put foodplastic wrapping losely over them she pokes holes in the plastic too its mot air tight. When the plants are big enough she seperates them

[@shabannasir3011]

I really like merigold flowers when I watched this video I had so many ideas for planting flowers

[@craycray4812]

I really like the tip of bottle shower anyway my did not even grow one

[@kakaocoffee5366]

after seeding where do you leave that tray? undered sun? or shade? and did you cover with plastic top?

[@bunnie12345]

Planting seeds today !

[@jeffcrist2977]

What did you have in the water you were using?

[@Healingwithtania]

What is your water solution? It looks greenish. Thank you for this helpful video!!!

[@joelterrero6689]

what mix of water yu use to feed the plants in the germintion stage?

[@michaelcrabtree2939]

What is the green stuff you had in the bottle you were watering them with?

[@infinixs4blue65]

im living in the Philippines wherein we have sun everyday, does this means that i will have a flower although out the year?

[@ruthieo54]

If you snip the spent blossoms off the plant every couple of days or once a week, the life of the plant will be greatly extended.

[@instabloksuncare808]

Lovely video. Would you say they were a bit too deeply sowed? I had 100% germination in coco coir that was barely covering them. Thoughts? Thank you!!

[@ganesh.mganesh3740]

Wonderful

[@gopimaniar8751]

Nice

[@tamarab5751]

Beautiful, edible marigolds!

[@FarHowling]

While we're at the topic of edible Marigold - if anyone here is a fan of Licorice, try to get your hands on Tagetes filifolia, tastes amazing.

[@catherine3045]

Thanks for the video.

[@AngelCsh28]

Thanks

[@cassandragonzalez6906]

After the videos.. Do you place a cover pver your seedling trays?

[@ProjectDiaries]

Al depends what the weather is like. I do if it's cold :)

[@lisabooker6405]

New sub! I happen to love marigolds too. They're great for pollinators. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work! ~Lisa

[@georgepavlik9055]

I also love marigolds and plant them every year. I'm going to try growing some instead of buying new every year. What are you watering with?

[@mikefalcon1]

Tagetes minuta Huacatay is one that can grow higher than us and it provides a massive amount of edible leaves to be used for tea or for salad dressing.

[@Dulceknits]

I love Marigolds too especially their scent ❤️Great video. So can you tell me if a Marigold is part of the Calendula family?

[@saintz177]

I sow my seeds second week of March all grow well on doors

[@mkusanagi1935]

there's some tomato plants getting the marigold guard on pests [in the video]. marigold seeds and petals are also [supposedly] good for rod and cone [eye cell] nutrients [pilot's trick]. and if you're a fan of tomato variety, we've discovered an interestingly large yielder called "mortgage lifters", that produce fruit over 4 pounds per tomato. :) -msi

[@janettempest716]

Lovely 😊

[@csn2892]

hello, what is that water mixture you added?

[@heyo8118]

Yay, new video! Have you grown any butternut squash or foxgloves in the past?

[@ProjectDiaries]

You can see how well my Butternut squash are doing in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpLGnaGQm7eXf5o Hopefully they'll fruit soon so I can finish it. I tried foxgloves and Lupins from seed. They're doing ok but the slugs got at them when I transplanted them outside :(

[@redredwine1277]

Thanks again🌷
