I've had lots of marigolds for the past 5 years that have never been
eaten. They self seed themselves at will. I have loads of their
seeds this year if anybody is interested. I've tried getting local
seed exchanges on the go but haven't had any luck so have been doing
them through mail with people in other provinces...
Something else started blooming in my garden the other day, just as I
thought everything was over! Now for the fun of finding out what it
is! That's what happens when all your plants are given to you by
friends, family and strangers, I wrote down all that they knew they
gave me but there were still a few mysteries! :)
Construction of my veggie garden and greenhouse starts next summer!
Can't wait!!!!
