Your marigolds are beautiful! Do you save your seeds? Have a joyful day!

I most absolutely do. I mix them all together, so you never know what size or color will come up. How can someone not be happy when they see these flowers? I have a TON of seeds. Would you like some? I have that many. Besides, our heavenly father would like me to share that happiness, I believe. Thank you for the compliment!

With marigolds that cheerful I am glad you save their seeds! I myself am overrun with marigolds seeds. I am a seed saver. I am also blessed with some that self sow,too. Every year they pop up in different places. As I watch them grow, I have noticed the self sown seed plants are better than the ones I plant. It is my reminder that God does a better job. I appreciate the generous offer of seeds and will in return offer you flower seeds. I have zinnia, snap dragon, petunia, tropical butterfly weed, and stock (usually it is single white blooms). May numerous blessings meet you at every turn! Thank you for being generous just as our Father is. I like your pictures and look forward to seeing more of them!

I am happy with whatever our heavenly father chooses to bless me with & of course all the lessons. I'm grateful he gave me the opportunity to get to know him, which had been several incredibly powerful occasions & the ability to start my first garden; which in turn, plan on donating whatever I cannot eat that I grow to a local food bank. I take food safety & quality very seriously, for obvious reasons... Mostly, to honor my grandma's legacy. She was my inspiration to become a chef. That's why half of the cooking lessons I give I do for almost free- I enjoy it, & because sometimes people don't have alot of money. If I can teach better eating habits & they thrive from it, I'm happy. I would be very happy to send you a variety of my marigold seeds, it's no trouble. I also have a variety of marigold that the plant stands 3'- 4' tall with orange blooms as shown in the photo. I'd send you some, because that's the kind of person I am. And whoever said New Yorkers were rude & mean people? Go figure! You're a very kind person to talk to. Also have photos posted on this site of my crookneck squash & green zucchini. Also have a ton of beets growing. God bless!

Very nice vegetables! I think squash is a versatile vegetable, goes with almost any type of food. Could I make a suggestion? What if you posted all your pics on one thread? You do not have to post daily, but all your pictures would be together. Then it would be a thread that could be watched. I might be wrong, I only recently joined. Here a majority of my flowers have bloomed out. I am cutting back to get a second bloom this fall. I am making sure the seeds dry well. In August I will know what seeds look good. Then we can exchange info and I would like some seeds of those reddish marigolds but if they are mixed together that is fine. I can be surprised. The 3 to 4 ft marigolds are Crackerjacks. I mix alot of my seeds together such as tall snapdragons. I grow so many colors, I can not guarantee colors. I do not mix them with the smaller snaps, but growing smaller snaps, who knows what the bees did? Anything can happen with seeds. Many blessings to you this week!
