i've heard that it is a good idea to plant marigolds around a garden but i forgot why
Why plant marigolds around a garden?
Because animals dont like the smell and will stay away from your garden.
Reply:they're pretty aren't they?
Reply:Not only are these flowers easy to grow and beautiful with all the different colors, they put off a smell that some animals and bugs do not like! Great, a flower that mulititasks!
Reply:Marigolds smell bad so they keep rabbits and other pests from eating your vegetables.
Reply:because they look nice
Reply:They repel snakes!! The odor causes the snakes to change direction. Good luck---
Reply:If your planting fruits and vegetables it helps keep the rabbits and deer away. Another good way to keep them away is get cut hair from the barber shop and put it around the edge.
Reply:Apparently, they repel harmful insects and attract useful ones.
See my source for more info.
Hope this helps!
Reply:Basic Answer they keep insects away and they look lovely

I grew mint indoors last year and it loved it and then i put it ouside and it just took over...
I would try a combo of mint,sage,basil and parsley, they seem to grow well together.
Lavender seems to grow well with,dill,thyme and rosemary. At least thats what has been the norm in my and my mothers gardens. Hope that kinda helps!
Reply:All can be started inside, but you want to eventually move them outside where they will get full sun. All herbs grow best in full sun, not a sunny window. You could keep them in a Three-Season room for a bit, but again, for better plant health and better growth and longevity, you will need to move them outside, even if they are in containers.
Reply:check on-line sources to see the amount of sunlight each needs. Some can thrive under florescent light. Some don't hold up well to direct sunlight, such as german chamomile. I grew some and it didn't fair well in the Arkansas heat of late spring/ early summer.

Reply:Very creative names...but they both seem a little too happy if you're naming an evil witch. I'd go with something a little more sinister/mysterious for a bad witch. Millicent or Grethel or something along those lines.
Otherwise, I like Rosemary better than Marigold, but, then I suppose it depends a bit on the character and type of story you're putting together, too.
Reply:Rosemary is a good name for a bad witch. Marigold is good for a good witch. I think Rosemary sounds good for a bad witch is because of the movie Rosemary's baby. But I was watching the Wicker man over the weekend and all of the women on summers isle were named after some kind of plant name, which I've noticed you have done with Rosemary/Marigold. They were named after flowers, trees, plants all kinds of different plant names. It was pretty cool. Hope you have fun with your search! Maybe research plant life and find something that is kind of a sinister plant. Maybe her first name could be poison and her middle name ivy? Just a thought....Have fun!
Reply:Either name is good for either type of which, depending on how you play it. Consider the character and go with the one that comes up more frequently. You may also want to fight the stereotypes and make either of these evil character names. Notice how many people associated these names with "good witch" characteristics? A good book provides an element of surprise.

What plant growing lights work best for marigolds?
i need to know and where i can get them
What plant growing lights work best for marigolds?
Lowe's offers a good selection of bulbs that are called gro lights. Made especially for growing plants. You can also buy a special fixture for a florecent style bulb. You probably want to give the marigolds at least 6-8 of light a day. They are a plant the requires full sun. Make sure to keep them moderately moist. Don't over water them, but don't let them dry completely either. Good Luck!
Reply:You can go to any hardware store and ask for a full spectrum light bulb that will fit into a lamp you plan on using.

Can you grow baby breath from its dried flowers like marigolds?
Yes, you can if you can get them while they are dried on the plant and get them early! Your best luck with babies breath is just buy you some seeds and start them...then..plant them in a sunny location. They like the after noon shade too.... According where you live Baby's Breath will re-seed and come back every year ... : )

I live in the Okanagan and grow just about all these. some don't last the winter though so you have to replant in the spring
Reply:absolutely.
Depending on exactly where you are you may find that some have to be replanted every year eg basil, rosemary, calendula,parsley while others are perennial ( plant once) eg thyme, oregano,
the reasons for having to be replanted vary from it getting to cold for the plant to survive ( eg rosemary ) or that the plant is a biannual ( eg parsley)

What do my Windsor Newton gouache colors correspond to on the color wheel?
I know this may sound ridiculous but I bought 12 tubes of gouache and I was wondering what each one was on the color wheel. I figured out some but I'm unsure of others.
Here is what I have figured out:
Primary Yellow - (Yellow)
Primary Blue - (Blue)
Primary Red - (Red)
Turquoise Blue (Blue Green)
Here is what I'm unsure of:
Golden Yellow
Marigold Yellow
Orange Lake Deep
Magenta
Light Purple
Periwinkle Blue
Brilliant Green
Permanent Green Light
Again, I know this sounds ridiculous but please help me out.
Thanks
What do my Windsor Newton gouache colors correspond to on the color wheel?
Below is a link to W%26amp;N Gouache colour chart - it's laid out just like the colour wheel from Lemon Yellow up to Linden Green (which would be next to Lemon Yellow on its left). The rest are earth colours so won't be on the wheel.
Check your colours in the order they appear on the chart, that's where they'll be on the wheel.
http://www.winsornewton.com/products.asp...
The previous answerer's idea of painting your own colour wheel will help make your colour theory very easy to understand.
Reply:Paint a swatch of each and compare to the color wheel you are using. They won't all match colors on the wheel but you will see where they fit in the scheme of colors, i.e. cool or warm, shade,or tint etc.
Johannes Itten "The Elements of Color" will help with color theory and Itten's 12 part color circle is excellent.

Does anyone else own different colour and types of rubber gloves for different cleaning jobs?
Because i do and my girlfriend used to love seeing me in my rubber gloves, and aswell as cleaning we used them in the bedroom too, great feeling and would recommend it,
unfortunately we are not together anymore but i still cannot be with out my lovely rubber gloves, i use :
Yellow marigold's to wash the dishes
Pink lightweight rubber gloves for the bathroom
i also own a couple of boxes of latex gloves too for quick cleaning.
I admit it is abit quirky and kinky and only one person knew about my fetish but i thought i would share it now, and i also know what somepeople would think and say, but compared to what fetishes are out there this is totally harmless.

Can i plant flowers in late may %26amp; expect them to grow through winter %26amp; into spring?
I think in large measure your answer might depend on your location/ZONE. Certainly a decent garden shop, local, will best advise what to grow, when best to plant, gestation/germination of seed, what best to plant as juvenile plants as opposed to seed, and what temps anything has a tolerance for.
No matter what you plant, unless you happen to be in a place like here in Florida, there will be months of dormancy, which does occur here as well. Perhaps a better question to ask at a garden center is, "What can I plant now, and will it SURVIVE a winter?"

Reply:Annuals will last the season.
Bi-annuals flower in the second year.
Perennials come up year after year.
Some of the Hardy perennials, i.e.Pelegoniums, will flower on through a mild autumn and stay green through a mild winter.

Newly planted tomato plants, marigolds and the frost?
My newly planted spring annuals were subjected to frost last night. Today they are black, do I have to pull them up and start all over or will they survive?
Newly planted tomato plants, marigolds and the frost?
The marigolds may survive and petunias and portulaca will probably survive but those are probably the hardiest of the annuals. Your tomatoes will probably not make it but I would wait to see before I pulled them up.
Reply:The tomatos are history. They have those wall-o-water things you can use if you plant in May and there's still a danger of frost. Personally, I start my tomatos inside around the beginning of April and keep them inside until the last week of May or first week of June before putting them in the ground. The great thing about tomatos is they do well in pots.
I'm not sure about marigolds.
Reply:You do not state what planting zone you are in. That is key to any planting you want to do!
The tomatoes are done. They went into the ground a month to a month and a half to early!! The annuals may make it. The Marigold is generally hardy despite freeze and frost. Hand pick the dead leaves, buds, and discolored vegetation from all the annual plants now. You should be doing this weekly anyway.
I'll post this and hear all kinds of heat. From Planting Zone 4 and above never plant any Vegetable Plant until Mother's Day. A weekend beyond is better. Your local County Extension Agent will give you your zone, and, the last frost date for free (see County Extension Agent OnLine or Phone Book).
Sorry but you lost the plants to spring fever! Good Luck.
Reply:Once tomatoes freeze they are history, you will need to replant. Some of the flowers may live. Marigolds are kind of hearty, if it froze hard they should be pulled up too. I wait until May for Tomatoes.
Reply:Start afresh and protect against frost, or just wait a while longer.
Reply:Probably dead, both of these are not frost tolerant. Look at your local average last frost date, and always plant after that date, you usually can just cover your plants with leaves or mulch or milk cartons, that will protect them, just take it off the next day so they don't overheat.

My Marigold is about 1.75 to 2 inches long with tail included. I've had him for a few months now and the only negative comment I have to make about my boy is his tail: or near lack thereof.
He's an adult (not fully grown yet i dont think) Marigold swordtail but his sword, at max, is about 5 millimeters long. For about a month after I got him I had him in a ten gl tank with two other marigold females and he quickly got down to 'business' so im assuming he's healthy. (Hes now in a 25 gl with the two females and another male) His tail HAS shown some growth since his purchase but its still absolutely puny. Any possible reasons?
Ps. The other male Marigolds tail is about two millimeters larger but he's a bit larger too.

Marigold swordtail?
OK...lets clear the air. There are several species of fish known as swordtails. Xiphophorus helleri is only one of them. Some species have longer swords than others and to add to the confusion, some helleri have much longer swords than others. Want to make it more fun? there appear to be several sub species of X. Helleri and there is some thought that some of the various swordtail species can interbreed. Let's make in worse. In tight confinement you can have arrhenoid males. That is females that appear to be young males. Those never get quite all of the male traits. This is more common than people think with commercially produced swordtails.
Now, males get 4" standard length. That is tip of the nose to the tip of the fleshy part of the tail. NOT including any lart of the tale fin. In highly developed males the sword can be as much as 2.5" on it's own.
Also, some sword tails are bred for color and some for finnage and some for both. Often to get really good color you have to give a bit on finnage and visa-versa until the strain is very stable. That is the case with swordtails right now because the commercial breeders don't take enough care to fix traits.
So where does that leave you? Marigolds usually have shorter swords than say green or red swordtails. On top of that he MIGHT be a she in drag, in which case "he" will never have a long sword. You mentioned that he got down to business, but did you get babies from that or was it just all show? That will answer the sex question.
And... swordtails can live quite a few years. The older they get the longer the sword unless something has damaged it. Your fish appears to be rather young to me.
Either way, nice looking fish.
Best of luck sorting all this out lol.
Reply:He'll max out around 3 inched. Its just genetics, each swordtail has a different tail. Some males have no sword tail. It has nothing to do with breeding or health. I've got a male with a 1.5 inch sword, biggest I've ever seen, and another with a normal half inch sword.
edit-- :) they are very healthy looking, I love the dark stones with the bright fish. Very nice clear pictures too.
Reply:because they are not all identical copies. Humans, dogs, fish..they all have slightly diffrent features. Some people are tall and some are short.
The other male might also be nipping at his sword. You should have 3 females to each male to prevent fighting and territory desputes. Plants will help too. preferably live, but plastic are fine.
Reply:Oh! www.freewebs.com/ben-leong would help you!
Reply:well maybe he was attacked or he has a birth defect........ if he is doing ine and is living like all the other fishies then there is nothing wrong with him and he just has a small fin... kind of like nemo in the movie finding nemo.... he has a small fin but nothing is wrong with him

What kind of interaction are you looking for? positive (as in pollination), or negative (as in pests)?
1) Spider mites interact negatively
2) Marigolds may keep nematodes out of your soil.
3) Questionable for rabbit repellent
4) Last (%26amp; maybe least):marigolds %26amp; puppies
Reply:marigolds are usually planted around a garden to keep insects and parasite away. The don't like the smell. Animals probably won't like the smell either
Reply:Hummingbirds and bees interact with many types of flowers. I believe marigolds are among them.
Just do an Internet search on Marigolds. You should be able to find this information on your own.

I always liked Marigolds %26amp; would like to grow some when the weather breaks out. What's the best care and recommendation for them?
Any information on marigolds?
well i been growing marigolds for 2 summers,i like them a lot usually i start with the seeds from last year,i get a germination kit from any store,well i live in northern illinois,so i plant them indoors usually after tha second week of march,plant them,water them,not in excess!,just moist,put them in a bright window and check the date of the last spring frost in your area,so you can plant them outside according to it,i hope this helps you, good luck!
Reply:Great tough plant they are drought tolerant and I believe there is a newly developed triploid variety that does not need deadheading. Otherwise deadheading is the only demand. They will self sow too if you leave the dried heads on the soil. Bugs don't like them so planting them among the bug tasties is a good idea.
Reply:Go ahead and get flats of seedlings. They're not expensive, maybe a dollar for 6 plants. Break up each plant into a single flower (with roots) and plant them 6 inches apart. By mid summer they will fill in. They're asy to care for, just give them an inch of water once a week. I don't use fertilizer but you can if you want, because it's an annual so it's ok to stress it out in order to get extra blooms. Deadhead often, but leave a few heads on because the seed head is very pretty. I keep the deadheads in a bowl in my hallway til they dry up, because I like the smell.
Reply:This is one of my favorite outdoor flowers. I buy flats from a garden center just after the last frost. Plant as directed that will come with your marigolds. I tend to space them a little closer together than advised to they fill in quickly. It it doesn't rain at least twice a week, then sprinkle preferably in the early morning or early evening.
Reply:I have started planting my marigold seeds from last year-I just take the flower heads from the old seeds and spread them around-this plant is sooooo. . EASY to grow-so I throw the seeds in pots and put them outside throw a layer of dirt in the pots and I water them and watch them grow-I always have plenty of pots of marigolds because they grow well, bloom beautiful,smell good, and I always have more seeds for next year!!! Good Luck!
Reply:I planted some from seed several years ago and they will re-seed and come up every year in our area, I just curmble the flower heads when they turn to seed and scatter them back in the flower bed, they are hardy !
Reply:Marigold is very easy to grow and little care is needed. See this site for better description.
Reply:If you are planning on starting them from seeds right on the package are the directions on what time of the year to plant them and everything else you need to maintain your marigolds.

What flower,(or plant) besides Marigolds, repels bees & yellow jackets?
I use a library computer so I'm not on the internet all the time. I missed the answer(s) to this question
What flower,(or plant) besides Marigolds, repels bees %26amp; yellow jackets?
Marigolds do not repel bees. Bees are attracted to all flowering plants! It is what they do!! We would not have any fruits or vegetables if bees did not like flowers!!
Good Luck!

I'm trying to grow Marigolds in an old toilet bowl in my front yard, but they don't seem to want to take. Why?

Well you're using an old toilet (why yould you have that in your fornt yard anyway?)

Reply:Even Marigolds have some self respect
Reply:Did you add dirt to the toilet bowl for the marigolds to grow in? Or did you just throw seeds in it with out dirt?
Reply:Is there good drainage? Or did you just fill the toilet full of soil? You need a screen, or pebbles or something to allow water to flow out, not just sit there.
Reply:Maybe You Have them in the Shad
Marigolds need Sunlight.
don't over water
and give them fertilizers
Reply:You're trying to grow WHAT in a WHAT that is sitting in your Front WHATTTTTT?
How about ditching the toilet and planting the Marigolds in the ground?
Reply:you need to break out the bottom with a hammer so theyll drain properly. if the water just sits in there and stagnates it will make your plants rot.
Reply:the shade from your mobilehome is causing your flowers to die. Relocate the toilet to the flat roof.
Use lawn chairs to sit on top and view. Take the hole in your yard,and half-bury a bathtub with a Mary statue for maximum effect.

Is it possible to cross-breed flowers of different species?
When it comes to gardening, would it be possible to cross-breed flowers of different species? For example, could it be possible to cross a rose and a marigold? Or other flowers? If so, how would one go about doing so?
Is it possible to cross-breed flowers of different species?
Its very much possible. It just depends on what type of cross. As an example I'll take orchids. In the genus Paphiopedillum you can basically cross any species of the genus with another and the offspring are viable, an example of a cross would be P. callosum x P. chamberlainianum the resultant hybrid is known as P. alcipe . Then there are even genus level crosses, Brassia x Miltonia , the new genus is known as Miltassia , these crosses can become quite complex. But in the end the crosses only work up to a certain level, these are all orchids and it would be impossible to cross them with a rose or a tulip and vice-versa.
Hope this helps
Reply:Not sure about the above flowers i think there own kind.
When you do cross bread or mix there seeds they will not smell great but they last longer for the most part.
The term is called hybrids and they will not seed or have a new generation of flowers.
Reply:As with most living things, members of the same species cannot reproduce. When they do, their offspring are typically incapable of reproduction (sterile). A mule is a great example in the animal kingdom. I don't believe hybrid plants can reproduce either.
Reply:it is not possible in garden as such but it is possible in the laboratory- with the help of somatic hybridisation which is fusion of 2 cells with the help of a chemical- polyethylene glycol. the plantlet can be developed through tissue culture there after.

How can I keep rabbits from eating my marigolds and vegetables?
If you have a canine let it roam the garden. If a feline, pray for weight and vigor.
For a more passive approach, I recommend chicken wire fencing to a height of 2' minimum and depth of 2' minimum. And keep vigil for areas in the fence that have been gnawed upon. Daily.

What Might Be Eating the Leaves (Only) on My Marigolds?
I just planted a few flats of marigolds and a bunch of other annuals and perineals. I have had problems in the past with weedhoppers in my grass in the past. I don't see any right now but wondered what an expert might think. Thank for your help. Also if it is weedhoppers what do I use to eradicate?
What Might Be Eating the Leaves (Only) on My Marigolds?
Usually marigolds are pretty bug resistant....sounds like a hungry varmint!!
Reply:Maybe slugs and snails. Look for a shiny slime substance on the plants. You can also go out after dark with a flashlight and look on the plants for these critters.

Q. I was told that marigolds keep mosquitoes away

I like you have heard the same stories even planting it around the garden for insects nastursums as well
Perhaps you actually heard of this;
Pyrethrins are derived from the flower of the pyrethrum plant, Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium. They kill fleas, ticks, mites, and other insects and are popular among pet owners who prefer to use all-natural products.

Reply:I don't know how well it works, but many old time gardeners put a row of marigolds all around their vegetable patch to keep bugs away.
If it doesn't work, at least they will look nice.
Reply:I've never heard that before,but it's worth a try. It is known that marigolds do keep certain bugs away. I have planted them in my vegetable garden . Good luck.

Reply:Yes, marigolds are a natural bug repellant. Obsolutely.
Reply:It's the scent/smell/odour of marigolds that is the deterent to bugs. They may help, like they do in my garden, but I wouldn't rely on them for total bug control. The bugs will be thriving before the blossoms open and release their FRAGRANCE.

Reply:Of course! Marigolds are well known for staying away mosquitoes and other things like flies etc. Many people buy baskets of them for picnics to use on tables for such a purpose. Also often you will find them intermixed with vegetable crops to help aid in cutting down the number of nuisances that might affect your plants. Plus marigolds are very very easy to grow.
Reply:Not bugs but bees. The bees hate the smell of marigolds. I do this every year. Especially mixed with other plants on my deck.

My guess is when they finish setting up and turn the sign around and it says "OPEN" and hopefully the door will be unlocked and we can go inside! It should be good food though, I can hardly wait either :)
What flower,(or plant) besides Marigolds, repels bees & yellow jackets?
I use a library computer so I'm not on the internet all the time. I missed the answer(s) to this question I'll try to be back during the w/e to see what's happening!
What flower,(or plant) besides Marigolds, repels bees %26amp; yellow jackets?
Citronella plant! inexpensive and sold at Lowe's/home depot/hardware stores
Reply:marigolds don't repel bees.. sorry.
Bees like flowers.. if it is a flowering plant, chances are a bee will be attracted.
Reply:marigolds do not repel bees! In fact, they attract them (anything with nectar attracts bees...)..........
Reply:I don't know about plants, but Rescue Yellowjacket Traps are great for Yellowjackets. They will not, however, catch bees, paper wasps, or other types of wasps.
The product does not contain pesticides if you are concerned about keeping your garden 'natural'. It contains an attractant that lures yjs to the trap, and they die because they cannot escape.
You can find them in larger stores such as Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, and smaller garden supply stores as well.

Have your mom or dad buy an avocado and pull the fruit away from the seed. Then take the seed and put four toothpicks in it all around the seed and hang it in a drinking glass so that the bottom of it is submerged in water.

Here in the UK I start my seeds off indoors in March, this is plenty early enough, any sooner and they grow too big too quickly. Alternatively you could plant them outside in late May / early June.
Reply:Sow your seed outside in April/May. Or sow in trays in Feb/March.

Can Guppies and swordtail marigolds mate?
I really want to know because i have 1 male swordtail and 1 female guppy and a male guppy. Can the male swordtail mate with the guppy? there live bearers. Can they cross breed?
Can Guppies and swordtail marigolds mate?
swordtails and guppies cannot crossbreed. guppies are from the genus Poecilia, swordtails are from the genus Xiphophorus, they are essentially different entirely, however they both belong to the family Poeciliidae.
when fish belong to different genus, its almost always impossible for them to crossbreed.
Reply:No, they won't breed, but you should get another female in there with the male. It's best to keep at least 2 females for each male. Less stress for the female that way.

Do marigolds actually help keep bugs away from your vegetables?
I've always planted marigolds as companion plants to my veggies because my parents always did. The theory is that they help keep bugs away from the veggies. Does this theory have any validity?
Do marigolds actually help keep bugs away from your vegetables?
I've always done this, too, and it seems to help. If nothing else, the marigolds look nice amoung the vegetable plants and it certainly doesn't hurt anything to have them there.
Unfortunately, in my experience anyway, the marigolds don't keep rabbits away. There was a recent discuss here about that. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1...
Reply:never heard of them keeping bugs away, but have heard, and from what I understand it's true....they keep rabbits away so they dont chew up your other plants.
Reply:They do, but they have a major drawback. Marigolds are a favored breeding plant of red spider mites. If you plant them near your garden you run the risk of infecting the garden with red spider! I personally don't use them for that reason.
Reply:This bit of folk lore was finally tested on broccoli crops at some University. The rows without any marigolds had the highest yields.
Reply:I heard this too.I'll tell you though -I can't stand the smell of them.I think they keep animals away too.
Reply:Marigolds are relatively pest free and many people interplant them in their vegetable gardens to deter insect pests. While the data is lacking as to whether marigolds actually deter insect pests, they definitely attract beneficial insects such as lacewings, ladybeetles, and parasitic wasps. A vegetable garden with some planted flowers is also more attractive and this makes it more enjoyable to work in.
Recent research indicates that marigolds contain compounds toxic to root knot and other plant-parasitic nematodes (microscopic round worms that damage plant roots). Root knot nematodes are not native to our area, but can be brought in with infected plant materials. The research showed that marigolds, especially certain varieties of French marigolds, significantly reduced root knot nematode populations the following year. Varieties of French marigolds shown to have nematocidal properties are: Bolero, Bonita Mixed, Goldie, Gypsy Sunshine, Petite, Petite Harmony, Petite Gold, Scarlet Sophie, Single Gold, and Tangerine.

Reply:yes. it is something to do with the smell.

Reply:Yes they have worked for all my friends and guess what? I kid you not, I put them out between the flower and vegetable beds and every year the bugs eat the marigold to the roots and my other flowers too. It is a complete puzzle to me.

Reply:These are the best plants that survive any temperature from 40-100degree's as long as when dry they are watered every two days will do it, don;t need to feed and the seeds after dried fall to ground and make more plants and also take the dried flower and save seeds which are under dried flower for next year, plant near vegetables and great to keep away bad insects from veggies. i've had all variaties large and small , this year I grew French vanilla marigolds and are beautiful and bulky these are like a bouquet of flowers.
Reply:I have grown marigolds from seed every year and from experience they seem to grow in most conditions with the exception of very cold and frosty places. They can withstand longish periods of drought as long as they are well established in the first place.
I normally plant mine out in the garden in Spring, (after sowing the seeds a couple on months before and keeping them in a greenhouse), I remove the first flower off each plant to help promote stronger and bushier plants. For the first couple of weeks I water them well about every three - four days if it is particularly warm or sunny after that I gradually reduce the watering. (Always give them a good soaking if you have to water them as this helps the roots to go deeper and develop).
One thing to remember is to regularly dead head the flowers as this helps them to produce more, I normally complete this chore every couple of days.
Apart from that they pretty much look after themselves.
Good luck.

Why do marigolds always mean bad things?
I've noticed for a while that marigolds have always meant bad things. Why? i'm not sure if there is a true reason but i would appreciate it if anyone would tell me what they about it...
Why do marigolds always mean bad things?
Are you talking about "The Language of Flowers" that governs the secret messages gentlemen might convey to young ladies they were courting during Victorian (and perhaps earlier) times? Marigolds did carry various unhappy meanings such as "Grief... Vulgar minds... Jealousy... Prophetic Prediction.... Despair." It's traditional, but as far as I know, pretty arbitrary. I know Lavender also has a meaning of "distrust", yet it is a lovely plant, beautiful to look at, beautiful to smell, and has many healing properties.
Not too many people actually know and practice the "Language of Flowers" any more. And it never meant to guide what could be planted in a garden. Because of its ability to repel nematodes, it is often planted in vegetable garden, around the edges, or interspersed with various veggies such as potatoes and tomatoes. So plant marigolds with abandon in your kitchen garden and let them send messages to the pests, rather than using them to send messages to your lady love.
Reply:Nothing bad at all. They repel some insects, mosquitos included, they are pretty and easy to grow, flower in mid summer and stay in flower until well after frost.
Reply:Not So at all.
Reply:I have never heard of such a thing about marigolds.

Reply:not that I know of they are great little flowers good for keeping bugs away because of there smell

When can I introduce baby frys into the tank?
I have marigold platy frys. They are a little over 2 weeks old now. What age can I introduce them into the tank without being eaten?
When can I introduce baby frys into the tank?
i have breed fish millions of times and i usually wait until the fish are a little bigger then the head of your fish, just to be safe. It can't hurt to wait a little longer, but it can hurt to rush this.
Make sure you have plenty of hiding places for the babies, floating plants, hallow rocks, that kind of stuff.
Reply:When they are big enough not to fit inside the other fishies mouths.
Reply:i would say a month old maybe?call a vetrinarian and ask them
Reply:depending on the other size of the fish. I keep mine in their own tank until they are atleast double in size. lots of coverage when you do release them.
Reply:put them in once they are more than 8mm-1cm smaller than the largest adult platy.
Reply:Do they have folliage to hide in? Floating plants? They are still mighty tasty to the larger fish.
Reply:They should be big enough to not get eaten. Make sure there is plenty of thick plants (real or fake) that they can hide in.

What else can I add to my 20 gallon tank?
I have 7 Julie Cories (they love playing in the bubble stream); 3 red wag platies %26amp; 3 marigold swordtails.
I'd like to add one more group of fish like 5 zebra danios or a type of tetra, maybe cardinal.
would that be the max i could add? or can i add even that?
What else can I add to my 20 gallon tank?
I would say just stick with the tetras or 2-3 tiger barbs. In theory you can have as many fish as you want, the only thing that changes is how frequently you you need to do water changes. The fishes waster contains ammonia witch will kill the fish at high levels. When you do a water change you remove the ammonia, not all of it, but it's enough to keep your fish alive. The carbon in your filter also helps to absorb ammonia that's why you have it. Now what I'm getting at is that you can have more fish in your tank, but you have to make sure that all your fish have enough room to swim, and that you do more frequent water changes if you do get more fish.
Here is a great site for you to check out, it covers a lot of commonly asked questions.

Also if you go to the barbs section you will find some information on the tiger barbs.
Sounds though like you have a nice, and coloful setup :)

How should I paint my bedloft?
My boyfriend and I are building a bedloft for my dorm room, and I'm having a hard time deciding how to paint it. I've picked the colors (a medium/dark blue, marigold, and a rich crimson-y pink).
Any suggestions for what to do with it?

solid unless you like whimsy
Reply:Paint flat color then use a water based clear finish and stripe it . Looks cool and it is subtle.

Something stripped all the leaves from my freshly-planted marigolds overnight!?
No other pants were touched, and I couldn't see any evidence of bugs, but the flowers weren't eaten, just the foliage. Anyone know what could have done it?
Something stripped all the leaves from my freshly-planted marigolds overnight!?
Slugs and snails are my guess.
It's their season (which lasts from March till late October, nasty things!)
Get slug-killing-pellets.
If it's the rabbits: Netting will work.
Reply:Sounds like slugs or snails. I use the beer method to get rid of them. Place a shallow contained near the area of your plants. Bury it to the rim and pour a small amount of beer (do not use lite beer, never works) in the container. The slugs are attracted to the yeast in the beer, go for a drink and drown. Dump the old beer and slugs every couple of days and add fresh beer. A more expensive way to do this is to purchase packets of yeast, mix with water, and pour it in the container. Works the same way.
Reply:Rabbits love marigolds.
Reply:I'm guessing snails. The liquid snail poison is best because your pets won't be interested in eating any of it.

Do marigolds reseed themselves every year?
I have planted some seeds out of a package and was wishing to know if these will reseed themselves or not.
I have already thrown the package away, so dont know if they do or not?
Thanks for your answers!
Do marigolds reseed themselves every year?
when the flowers die pick them of then pull it apart thats were the seeds are and you can plant them next time
Reply:Just to be on the safe side I would Pull a few seed heads off let them dry and replant them
Reply:Mine never did, but you just have to pull the dead heads off %26amp; save them to replant. This is especially good if there is one color you like better than the other.
Reply:Once the flowers die pinch 'em off and tear it apart . Seeds are narrow , black stems with white at the top. Unusual seeds but i would dry them and store in fridge until next year.
Reply:let dry the biggest one from the top .keep it or you can plant same day
Reply:In the fall or early spring when the flower stocks have dried take the flower head kinda crack it open and either spread the seeds around or store them until spring and put in the dirt then my self seed regularly and I do it both ways.
Reply:They will if you let the flowers dry out and fall. Or you save the finished flower, dry and save for next year.

What are some good tips to keep insects away from my marigolds?
I don't like to particularly use pesticides.
What are some good tips to keep insects away from my marigolds?
There are some bugs that love marigolds, earwigs eat them up! An easy, effective and cheap way I have used is beer bait. Pour some cheap beer into a shallow dish, (actually empty, clean tuna cans work the best) and put near the plant that the bugs are eating. The next morning, there will be all sorts of dead bugs in the dish. Dump it out, clean it and put more beer in! Works every time!
Reply:Every time I have ever tried to grow marigolds they have been half eaten by bugs. I said I would never plant them again but I had some given to me this year so I tried again. I was spraying my roses with ortho spray for fungus and bugs and figured what the heck, it can't hurt so I sprayed my marigolds. They are beautiful and bushy, the prettiest I have ever had and no bugs on them at all.
Reply:spray soapy water on them. (use liquid detergent like Palmolive). I don't remember the proportions, but I think it's a teaspoon of detergent in a regular spray bottle full of water. Bugs hate the smell of the detergent
Reply:Marigolds are naturally an insect repellent. They have their own chemical defense systems.

About marigolds - do you need to pinch off the blooms when they start to wilt?
Yep, dead head them up to the end of the growing season. When it gets close to fall quit doing that and let the heads remain on the plant. Let the plants winter over with out cutting them. In the spring when everything starts to green up bend the plants over to shake out the seeds, that way you`ll get another crop out of them and won`t have to re plant anything. I have been doing this every year for 4 growing seasons with one 6 pack of marigolds and now have a 2x6 flower bed of nothing but marigolds.
About marigolds - do you need to pinch off the blooms when they start to wilt?
yes you do , it will help promote more buds
Reply:If you want continious blooms it is best to dead head as soon as a bloom starts looking wilted or brown.
Reply:Yes, you should if you want your plant to produce continuous and beautiful blooms. Also, when you get your plants, you should pinch off the buds right before they bloom. This will make your plants produce more buds, and, therefore, more blooms and bushier plants. Yours will be the envy of the neighborhood.
Reply:yeah you should...keeps the plant blooming longer just drop them in your flower bed and you will get blooms off them either next year or toward the end of the summer

What's the best way to press flowers within a 3 week time-frame?
Heya. I need to press dry some flowers, Lavandula officinalis (lavender) and Calendula officinalis (marigold) as part of an assignment due in 3 weeks time. What's the best method to use if you need to transfer them into an artbook and have them stay/stick without damaging the delicate flower heads? What type of materials will I need, and will plain blotting paper be ok? Part of the stem will also be dissected, will I need to use another method to dry that part?
Thank you! ^_^
What's the best way to press flowers within a 3 week time-frame?
What I always do is I take two tissues and place the flowers or plants between them, put heavy books above and below, and then put them in out side attic. I don't think pressing flowers usually takes more than a couple weeks. The marigold will definitely take longer than the lavender, so you might want to put a LOT of books on that one, because marigolds have such a thick sepal. You can place the whole flower in together, and tweezers are probably good for taking it from the tissue to the page. Only the thinner flowers are in danger of breaking by movement, so be careful with the lavender, you might even take the tissue directly above the page and carefully remove it and place it straight on your art book. what I've always done is to take decoupage glue and apply it in brush strokes with a wide paintbrush.
Reply:honestly? Put them in a dry room, not the living room cellar attic or room with cracks where moister might leak in and slow down the dry process, it would be best to hang them upside down, in a closed off, warm room. (keep a heater on in the room if you can!) after the flowers are dry place them in a heavy book, preferably the back of one, for about three days, then it should be safe to iron them to keep them flat!

(... click on *Dried Nature* ...then scroll down to the section called "Quick-Drying Flowers %26amp; Plant Material--In a Microwave"...)
For any thicker wetter parts you want to press, just do them separately and adjust the time/etc since they won't dry out as quickly as the thinner parts.

Reply:They repel snakes!! The odor causes the snakes to change direction. Good luck---
Reply:If your planting fruits and vegetables it helps keep the rabbits and deer away. Another good way to keep them away is get cut hair from the barber shop and put it around the edge.

I grew mint indoors last year and it loved it and then i put it ouside and it just took over...
I would try a combo of mint,sage,basil and parsley, they seem to grow well together.
Lavender seems to grow well with,dill,thyme and rosemary. At least thats what has been the norm in my and my mothers gardens. Hope that kinda helps!
Reply:All can be started inside, but you want to eventually move them outside where they will get full sun. All herbs grow best in full sun, not a sunny window. You could keep them in a Three-Season room for a bit, but again, for better plant health and better growth and longevity, you will need to move them outside, even if they are in containers.
Reply:check on-line sources to see the amount of sunlight each needs. Some can thrive under florescent light. Some don't hold up well to direct sunlight, such as german chamomile. I grew some and it didn't fair well in the Arkansas heat of late spring/ early summer.

Do you think Rosemary or Marigold is a better name fo a witch in my story???
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Do you think Rosemary or Marigold is a better name fo a witch in my story???
Good witch? Then Willow Wand.
Bad witch? Belladonna.
Reply:marigold (calendula) words have healing power; sacrifice out of love if necessary rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis) protection and healing ; be positive.............those are the keynotes as provided by ted andrews nature speak, so is your character positive or a martyr? i actually like calendula as a name. most people wouldn't even know what it meant, but the "informed " would get a kick out of it. good luck with the story, and when/where can we read it?
Reply:rosemary
Reply:I like Rosemary, too. Marigold sounds too frivolous.
Reply:Very creative names...but they both seem a little too happy if you're naming an evil witch. I'd go with something a little more sinister/mysterious for a bad witch. Millicent or Grethel or something along those lines.
Otherwise, I like Rosemary better than Marigold, but, then I suppose it depends a bit on the character and type of story you're putting together, too.
Reply:Rosemary is a good name for a bad witch. Marigold is good for a good witch. I think Rosemary sounds good for a bad witch is because of the movie Rosemary's baby. But I was watching the Wicker man over the weekend and all of the women on summers isle were named after some kind of plant name, which I've noticed you have done with Rosemary/Marigold. They were named after flowers, trees, plants all kinds of different plant names. It was pretty cool. Hope you have fun with your search! Maybe research plant life and find something that is kind of a sinister plant. Maybe her first name could be poison and her middle name ivy? Just a thought....Have fun!
Reply:Either name is good for either type of which, depending on how you play it. Consider the character and go with the one that comes up more frequently. You may also want to fight the stereotypes and make either of these evil character names. Notice how many people associated these names with "good witch" characteristics?

Do you think Rosemary or Marigold is a better name fo a witch in my story???
Good witch? Then Willow Wand.
Bad witch? Belladonna.
Reply:marigold (calendula) words have healing power; sacrifice out of love if necessary rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis) protection and healing ; be positive.............those are the keynotes as provided by ted andrews nature speak, so is your character positive or a martyr? i actually like calendula as a name. most people wouldn't even know what it meant, but the "informed " would get a kick out of it. good luck with the story, and when/where can we read it?
Reply:rosemary
Reply:I like Rosemary, too. Marigold sounds too frivolous.
Reply:Very creative names...but they both seem a little too happy if you're naming an evil witch. I'd go with something a little more sinister/mysterious for a bad witch. Millicent or Grethel or something along those lines.
Otherwise, I like Rosemary better than Marigold, but, then I suppose it depends a bit on the character and type of story you're putting together, too.
Reply:Rosemary is a good name for a bad witch. Marigold is good for a good witch. I think Rosemary sounds good for a bad witch is because of the movie Rosemary's baby. But I was watching the Wicker man over the weekend and all of the women on summers isle were named after some kind of plant name, which I've noticed you have done with Rosemary/Marigold. They were named after flowers, trees, plants all kinds of different plant names. It was pretty cool. Hope you have fun with your search! Maybe research plant life and find something that is kind of a sinister plant. Maybe her first name could be poison and her middle name ivy? Just a thought....Have fun!
Reply:Either name is good for either type of which, depending on how you play it. Consider the character and go with the one that comes up more frequently. You may also want to fight the stereotypes and make either of these evil character names. Notice how many people associated these names with "good witch" characteristics? A good book provides an element of surprise.

How fast do marigolds grow after planting them?
marigolds usually sprout after 6 weeks depending on your conditions seeds need plenty of sunshine to grow marigolds are kind of quick just remember after flowering always dead head so you can plant the seeds next spring you will get alot of seeds in the head so you never have to buy marigold again

What plant growing lights work best for marigolds?
i need to know and where i can get them
What plant growing lights work best for marigolds?
Lowe's offers a good selection of bulbs that are called gro lights. Made especially for growing plants. You can also buy a special fixture for a florecent style bulb. You probably want to give the marigolds at least 6-8 of light a day. They are a plant the requires full sun. Make sure to keep them moderately moist. Don't over water them, but don't let them dry completely either. Good Luck!
Reply:You can go to any hardware store and ask for a full spectrum light bulb that will fit into a lamp you plan on using.

Can you grow baby breath from its dried flowers like marigolds?
Yes, you can if you can get them while they are dried on the plant and get them early! Your best luck with babies breath is just buy you some seeds and start them...then..plant them in a sunny location. They like the after noon shade too.... According where you live Baby's Breath will re-seed and come back every year ... : )

Reply:absolutely.
Depending on exactly where you are you may find that some have to be replanted every year eg basil, rosemary, calendula,parsley while others are perennial ( plant once) eg thyme, oregano,
the reasons for having to be replanted vary from it getting to cold for the plant to survive ( eg rosemary ) or that the plant is a biannual ( eg parsley)

What do my Windsor Newton gouache colors correspond to on the color wheel?
I know this may sound ridiculous but I bought 12 tubes of gouache and I was wondering what each one was on the color wheel. I figured out some but I'm unsure of others.
Here is what I have figured out:
Primary Yellow - (Yellow)
Primary Blue - (Blue)
Primary Red - (Red)
Turquoise Blue (Blue Green)
Here is what I'm unsure of:
Golden Yellow
Marigold Yellow
Orange Lake Deep
Magenta
Light Purple
Periwinkle Blue
Brilliant Green
Permanent Green Light
Again, I know this sounds ridiculous but please help me out.

What do my Windsor Newton gouache colors correspond to on the color wheel?
Below is a link to W%26amp;N Gouache colour chart - it's laid out just like the colour wheel from Lemon Yellow up to Linden Green (which would be next to Lemon Yellow on its left). The rest are earth colours so won't be on the wheel.
Check your colours in the order they appear on the chart, that's where they'll be on the wheel.
http://www.winsornewton.com/products.asp...
The previous answerer's idea of painting your own colour wheel will help make your colour theory very easy to understand.
Reply:Paint a swatch of each and compare to the color wheel you are using. They won't all match colors on the wheel but you will see where they fit in the scheme of colors, i.e. cool or warm, shade,or tint etc.
Johannes Itten "The Elements of Color" will help with color theory and Itten's 12 part color circle is excellent.

Does anyone else own different colour and types of rubber gloves for different cleaning jobs?
Because i do and my girlfriend used to love seeing me in my rubber gloves, and aswell as cleaning we used them in the bedroom too, great feeling and would recommend it,
unfortunately we are not together anymore but i still cannot be with out my lovely rubber gloves, i use :
Yellow marigold's to wash the dishes
Pink lightweight rubber gloves for the bathroom
i also own a couple of boxes of latex gloves too for quick cleaning.
I admit it is abit quirky and kinky and only one person knew about my fetish but i thought i would share it now, and i also know what somepeople would think and say, but compared to what fetishes are out there this is totally harmless.

Can i plant flowers in late may %26amp; expect them to grow through winter %26amp; into spring?
I think in large measure your answer might depend on your location/ZONE. Certainly a decent garden shop, local, will best advise what to grow, when best to plant, gestation/germination of seed, what best to plant as juvenile plants as opposed to seed, and what temps anything has a tolerance for.
No matter what you plant, unless you happen to be in a place like here in Florida, there will be months of dormancy, which does occur here as well. Perhaps a better question to ask at a garden center is, "What can I plant now, and will it SURVIVE a winter?"

Bi-annuals flower in the second year.
Perennials come up year after year.
Some of the Hardy perennials, i.e.Pelegoniums, will flower on through a mild autumn and stay green through a mild winter.

Newly planted tomato plants, marigolds and the frost?
My newly planted spring annuals were subjected to frost last night. Today they are black, do I have to pull them up and start all over or will they survive?
Newly planted tomato plants, marigolds and the frost?
The marigolds may survive and petunias and portulaca will probably survive but those are probably the hardiest of the annuals. Your tomatoes will probably not make it but I would wait to see before I pulled them up.
Reply:The tomatos are history. They have those wall-o-water things you can use if you plant in May and there's still a danger of frost. Personally, I start my tomatos inside around the beginning of April and keep them inside until the last week of May or first week of June before putting them in the ground. The great thing about tomatos is they do well in pots.
I'm not sure about marigolds.
Reply:You do not state what planting zone you are in. That is key to any planting you want to do!
The tomatoes are done. They went into the ground a month to a month and a half to early!! The annuals may make it. The Marigold is generally hardy despite freeze and frost. Hand pick the dead leaves, buds, and discolored vegetation from all the annual plants now. You should be doing this weekly anyway.
I'll post this and hear all kinds of heat. From Planting Zone 4 and above never plant any Vegetable Plant until Mother's Day. A weekend beyond is better. Your local County Extension Agent will give you your zone, and, the last frost date for free (see County Extension Agent OnLine or Phone Book).
Sorry but you lost the plants to spring fever! Good Luck.
Reply:Once tomatoes freeze they are history, you will need to replant. Some of the flowers may live. Marigolds are kind of hearty, if it froze hard they should be pulled up too. I wait until May for Tomatoes.
Reply:Start afresh and protect against frost, or just wait a while longer.
Reply:Probably dead, both of these are not frost tolerant. Look at your local average last frost date, and always plant after that date, you usually can just cover your plants with leaves or mulch or milk cartons, that will protect them, just take it off the next day so they don't overheat.

Marigold swordtail?
My Marigold is about 1.75 to 2 inches long with tail included. I've had him for a few months now and the only negative comment I have to make about my boy is his tail: or near lack thereof.
He's an adult (not fully grown yet i dont think) Marigold swordtail but his sword, at max, is about 5 millimeters long. For about a month after I got him I had him in a ten gl tank with two other marigold females and he quickly got down to 'business' so im assuming he's healthy. (Hes now in a 25 gl with the two females and another male) His tail HAS shown some growth since his purchase but its still absolutely puny. Any possible reasons?
Ps. The other male Marigolds tail is about two millimeters larger but he's a bit larger too.

Marigold swordtail?
OK...lets clear the air. There are several species of fish known as swordtails. Xiphophorus helleri is only one of them. Some species have longer swords than others and to add to the confusion, some helleri have much longer swords than others. Want to make it more fun? there appear to be several sub species of X. Helleri and there is some thought that some of the various swordtail species can interbreed. Let's make in worse. In tight confinement you can have arrhenoid males. That is females that appear to be young males. Those never get quite all of the male traits. This is more common than people think with commercially produced swordtails.
Now, males get 4" standard length. That is tip of the nose to the tip of the fleshy part of the tail. NOT including any lart of the tale fin. In highly developed males the sword can be as much as 2.5" on it's own.
Also, some sword tails are bred for color and some for finnage and some for both. Often to get really good color you have to give a bit on finnage and visa-versa until the strain is very stable. That is the case with swordtails right now because the commercial breeders don't take enough care to fix traits.
So where does that leave you? Marigolds usually have shorter swords than say green or red swordtails. On top of that he MIGHT be a she in drag, in which case "he" will never have a long sword. You mentioned that he got down to business, but did you get babies from that or was it just all show? That will answer the sex question.
And... swordtails can live quite a few years. The older they get the longer the sword unless something has damaged it. Your fish appears to be rather young to me.
Either way, nice looking fish.
Best of luck sorting all this out lol.
Reply:He'll max out around 3 inched. Its just genetics, each swordtail has a different tail. Some males have no sword tail. It has nothing to do with breeding or health. I've got a male with a 1.5 inch sword, biggest I've ever seen, and another with a normal half inch sword.
edit-- :) they are very healthy looking, I love the dark stones with the bright fish. Very nice clear pictures too.
Reply:because they are not all identical copies. Humans, dogs, fish..they all have slightly diffrent features. Some people are tall and some are short.
The other male might also be nipping at his sword. You should have 3 females to each male to prevent fighting and territory desputes. Plants will help too. preferably live, but plastic are fine.
Reply:Oh! www.freewebs.com/ben-leong would help you!
Reply:well maybe he was attacked or he has a birth defect........ if he is doing ine and is living like all the other fishies then there is nothing wrong with him and he just has a small fin... kind of like nemo in the movie finding nemo.... he has a small fin but nothing is wrong with him

And... swordtails can live quite a few years. The older they get the longer the sword unless something has damaged it. Your fish appears to be rather young to me.
Either way, nice looking fish.
Best of luck sorting all this out lol.
Reply:He'll max out around 3 inched. Its just genetics, each swordtail has a different tail. Some males have no sword tail. It has nothing to do with breeding or health. I've got a male with a 1.5 inch sword, biggest I've ever seen, and another with a normal half inch sword.
edit-- :) they are very healthy looking, I love the dark stones with the bright fish. Very nice clear pictures too.
Reply:because they are not all identical copies. Humans, dogs, fish..they all have slightly diffrent features. Some people are tall and some are short.
The other male might also be nipping at his sword. You should have 3 females to each male to prevent fighting and territory desputes. Plants will help too. preferably live, but plastic are fine.
Reply:Oh! www.freewebs.com/ben-leong would help you!
Reply:well maybe he was attacked or he has a birth defect........ if he is doing ine and is living like all the other fishies then there is nothing wrong with him and he just has a small fin... kind of like nemo in the movie finding nemo.... he has a small fin but nothing is wrong with him

What type of animals interact with marigolds and where can i find a source that shows me about marigolds?
What kind of interaction are you looking for? positive (as in pollination), or negative (as in pests)?
1) Spider mites interact negatively
2) Marigolds may keep nematodes out of your soil.
3) Questionable for rabbit repellent
4) Last (%26amp; maybe least):marigolds %26amp; puppies
Reply:marigolds are usually planted around a garden to keep insects and parasite away. The don't like the smell. Animals probably won't like the smell either
Reply:Hummingbirds and bees interact with many types of flowers. I believe marigolds are among them.
Just do an Internet search on Marigolds. You should be able to find this information on your own.
Reply:I hope this is useful.

Did Nirvana do Marigold in rehearsals for the unplugged performance?
A handwritten setlist also mentions "Screen," "Old Age," and "Marigold," but it is not known which songs were actually rehearsed.

Any information on marigolds?
I always liked Marigolds %26amp; would like to grow some when the weather breaks out. What's the best care and recommendation for them?
Any information on marigolds?
well i been growing marigolds for 2 summers,i like them a lot usually i start with the seeds from last year,i get a germination kit from any store,well i live in northern illinois,so i plant them indoors usually after tha second week of march,plant them,water them,not in excess!,just moist,put them in a bright window and check the date of the last spring frost in your area,so you can plant them outside according to it,i hope this helps you, good luck!
Reply:Great tough plant they are drought tolerant and I believe there is a newly developed triploid variety that does not need deadheading. Otherwise deadheading is the only demand. They will self sow too if you leave the dried heads on the soil. Bugs don't like them so planting them among the bug tasties is a good idea.
Reply:Go ahead and get flats of seedlings. They're not expensive, maybe a dollar for 6 plants. Break up each plant into a single flower (with roots) and plant them 6 inches apart. By mid summer they will fill in. They're asy to care for, just give them an inch of water once a week. I don't use fertilizer but you can if you want, because it's an annual so it's ok to stress it out in order to get extra blooms. Deadhead often, but leave a few heads on because the seed head is very pretty. I keep the deadheads in a bowl in my hallway til they dry up, because I like the smell.
Reply:This is one of my favorite outdoor flowers. I buy flats from a garden center just after the last frost. Plant as directed that will come with your marigolds. I tend to space them a little closer together than advised to they fill in quickly. It it doesn't rain at least twice a week, then sprinkle preferably in the early morning or early evening.
Reply:I have started planting my marigold seeds from last year-I just take the flower heads from the old seeds and spread them around-this plant is sooooo. . EASY to grow-so I throw the seeds in pots and put them outside throw a layer of dirt in the pots and I water them and watch them grow-I always have plenty of pots of marigolds because they grow well, bloom beautiful,smell good, and I always have more seeds for next year!!! Good Luck!
Reply:I planted some from seed several years ago and they will re-seed and come up every year in our area, I just curmble the flower heads when they turn to seed and scatter them back in the flower bed, they are hardy !
Reply:Marigold is very easy to grow and little care is needed. See this site for better description.
Reply:If you are planning on starting them from seeds right on the package are the directions on what time of the year to plant them and everything else you need to maintain your marigolds.

What flower,(or plant) besides Marigolds, repels bees & yellow jackets?
I use a library computer so I'm not on the internet all the time. I missed the answer(s) to this question
What flower,(or plant) besides Marigolds, repels bees %26amp; yellow jackets?
Marigolds do not repel bees. Bees are attracted to all flowering plants! It is what they do!! We would not have any fruits or vegetables if bees did not like flowers!!
Good Luck!

I'm trying to grow Marigolds in an old toilet bowl in my front yard, but they don't seem to want to take. Why?
I thought it'd be a good way to brighten up the trailer park, but they keep dying. Too much water, maybe?
Oh well. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.

Well you're using an old toilet (why yould you have that in your fornt yard anyway?)
Reply:The ones that I saw like this actually still were in their pots down in the bowl, and I guess had someway for them to "Flush" the water out if it rained allot. (Had drainage built in, pebbles in the bottom of the tray, drain holes, etc.)
Reply:take the flowers out, and use the toilet yourself so you will have an out house
Reply:Liar, liar, pants on fire.
Reply:i say the Marigolds dont like the idea of growing in a old toilet, Give them something with a bit of respect and I bettcha they will grow to perfection. I really dont think the "toilet" will brighten up a trailer park sorry
Reply:Even Marigolds have some self respect
Reply:Did you add dirt to the toilet bowl for the marigolds to grow in? Or did you just throw seeds in it with out dirt?
Reply:Is there good drainage? Or did you just fill the toilet full of soil? You need a screen, or pebbles or something to allow water to flow out, not just sit there.
Reply:Maybe You Have them in the Shad
Marigolds need Sunlight.
don't over water
and give them fertilizers
Reply:You're trying to grow WHAT in a WHAT that is sitting in your Front WHATTTTTT?
How about ditching the toilet and planting the Marigolds in the ground?
Reply:you need to break out the bottom with a hammer so theyll drain properly. if the water just sits in there and stagnates it will make your plants rot.
Reply:the shade from your mobilehome is causing your flowers to die. Relocate the toilet to the flat roof.
Use lawn chairs to sit on top and view. Take the hole in your yard,and half-bury a bathtub with a Mary statue for maximum effect.
