#marigolds
I'm going to show you how to collect marigold seeds so you never have to buy the plant again. Not only does it save money but if you have a specific breed of them that you like, then saving marigold seeds is the way to go

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

[@ddalcourtsd]

Thank you 😊

[@AnwarriAbdullah]

Instead of cutting the plant to die..can i just deadheading the flower and let it dry? And which flower bloom size should i pick? The full bloom is better or the one almost dry? I did try collect the seed but most of the seed not fully black and it is thin..i dont knownwhen is thr best time to picknthe flower to get better fully thick black seed

[@TheAdhdGardener]

@@AnwarriAbdullah you can deadhead the dried flower for sure n keep the seeds! Idk which flowers have been pollinated by the bees so it's hard to pick and choose which which flower. Pollination rates can vary depending on how many insects have pollinated

[@AnwarriAbdullah]

@@TheAdhdGardener Thank you and now I got the answer from you mentioning pollinated flower.

[@blorkflorkernorp9773]

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.

[@Kacey90]

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

[@TheAdhdGardener]

... 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 ...

[@oldrgrl]

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 👍 😃

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.

[@crossing3790]

My first seed remover video. Perfect and thanks for sharing

[@christinecoleman8130]

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.

[@bouncers.17]

[@marlenevideos8666]

An envelope, paper bag n even a ziploc(I have mine like that. Sometimes I add a bit of rice to the larger seeds so if there's any additional moisture, it'll get sucked up by the rice)

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?

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

[@TheAdhdGardener]

U can give the chickens the marigold flowers I can assume the seeds too🤷‍♀️

[@PhilipK100]

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!

[@TheAdhdGardener]

Marigolds tends to be fast growers so I'd def start now indoors or sow some seeds in milk jugs n put it outside. They flower within 2 months time

[@chesterjaxx8917]

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

[@TheAdhdGardener]

Good question. Tbh I'm not sure about that. So long as the flower was pollinated I wouldn't think the drying part mattered. Time for u to experiment!

[@mystiquerose620]

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

[@TheAdhdGardener]

Well I currently am sowing those very same seeds and I'm getting 60% germination. Some seeds bend n those I won't use

[@mystiquerose620]

@@TheAdhdGardener ok great..thx for your help

[@Jananana22]

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?

[@TheAdhdGardener]

If I understand your question correctly youre wondering if positioning your seed in the soil right is upside down or not? If so, then technically yes. For most seeds there is one end that pops out the stem n other root. Some seeds however ya can't even tell which side is which(imagine the round brassica seeds). Besides the plant will fix direction n come up regardless.😁🌻

[@ChAhsanAli1]

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.

[@TheAdhdGardener]

It'll have to be in the summer but to maintain Marigolds is pretty easy. As they continue to flower, fertilize every 2-3 weeks depending on strength. Also pluck off the dead flowers to encourage new growth

[@brendasteward6203]

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?

[@TheAdhdGardener]

The seeds should be dry b4 storing. Glass jar or envelope is good. Store in a cool dark space. If using jar then an even darker spot like a cabinet

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

[@mustang19ms]

I tried to plant those once, I must have planted like 30, not even one grew. Do they need polination?

[@TheAdhdGardener]

In my experience Marigolds need bees to pollinate. Problem is idk if the seeds are viable without pollination. I grew out of my own seeds and I got only 30% germination. Def NOT good. Ima try again this year. Id plant extra to compensate

[@mustang19ms]

​ @The Adhd Gardener Thank you ^^, you're right. I searched some more and find one forum where someone says that they need to be pollinated. Outside, Marigolds get easily pollinated by insects (flower contains both male and female parts), but indoors (like in my situation), I had no pollinators. Pollination can be done manually with a brush. I bet pollinating it manually would increase your germination rate :P

[@TheAdhdGardener]

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!

[@TheAdhdGardener]

U can pull off one dead flower at a time n collect too while you're deadheading

[@TheAMVDJ]

@@TheAdhdGardener Ok awesome!! Should I let the spent flower dry out as much as possible while it is still attached before I pluck it, or go ahead and pluck it when it still has color, but you can tell it is on its way out and feels a bit crunchy (like a week or 2 after it's prime)?
