    marigold. no, not any more. that winter 2 years ago
    that went to 17 degrees BELOW zero pretty much took out
    everything like that….things that would have “thrown”
    seeds in the spring?….and then i decided not to replant
    anything except vegetables. and then last year i didn’t
    hardly do that…tomatoes, some yellow hots, cucumbers.

    if you change your mind, let me know and i’ll send you some seeds. i’ve always found marigold wonderful as a companion plant. and i love their smell–lots of people don’t.

    marigold is a flower of new Mexico, of Mexico…it is
    the flower strewn everywhere for the Dia de los Muertos,
    the Day of the Dead when the life of the dead is celebrated.
    and i know it provides safety to plants..in it’s properties as an insecticide which i am never sure what to think about. as in, DO I want it to keep the blue swallowtail away from the dill? yes and no.
    BUT…how GREAT!!!! as a dye plant. i didn’t know this…
    so…THANK YOU!!!!! AND LOVE for telling Us….

    great. would you like some cleome as well? i don’t think it has any medicinal/dyeing/plant functions–i just don’t know–but it sure likes to bloom and it’s pretty.
    will need your address.
