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 type of animals interact with marigolds and where can i find a source that shows me about marigolds?
as in website where i could find this info
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!
