Here are my tagetes erecta " Cracker Jack." Today the measurement is 56 inches. No new growth observed. The St. Francis statue is just over 24 1/2 inches.

This year is probably my tallest year. The Marigolds in this area have been self seeders for a couple of years now. The ones I sow from collected seed are in the background of the above second and third pictures.

I have about 5 kinds including yellow, gold yellow, gold orange, orange, and an unusual one a little more yellow than the picture...

I have promised some seed to some regular readers of my garden photo thread. If you pop over there and let me know you would like some seed, anytime, in the next 4 weeks or so I would be glad to send you some in the fall. The nicest one is the tall yellow, lots of big flowers.

May you be blessed with a wonderful week!
