Seedfork said:I know marigolds have the reputation of being childs play to grow, it is often used in school projects with kids. I seem to have the hardest time even with new marigold seeds. They do better for me left to their own resources in the garden, Love having the volunteers.

Same here, except I don't get volunteers until it's too late in the season to get blooms from the new plants. They must need hotter (and drier??) conditions than what I provide.
