ohhhhh is THAT what they do in veggie gardens? I've read about people planting veggies and then they throw in marigolds and I always wondered why.Joyfirst wrote:Just bought a six pack of marigolds for 1.99, because I wanted to plant them next to my started seedlings. I needed them to be already blooming to be good companion plants ( to deter bugs with their smell.)

Oh yes, I do always buy numerous flats for the flower gardens, and also buy lots of one gallon perennials each year. This year I am trying start a couple of flats of some favorite flowering plants. Will see how that goes. Also save lots of seeds to be broadcast the following year in a mass planting area.
