Marigold Update

These are the marigolds that I started from seeds. And not just any seeds....from seeds that I saved myself. How 'bout that! Pretty advanced stuff, huh?  I know from my Dad's garden that marigolds are pretty hardy, so I figured they would be a good plant to start out with. The flat was $10.00 last year, so I'm excited to save that money by doing it myself this time around. I saved the black plastic flat from when I bought the marigolds for the current garden and planted a bunch of seeds willy nilly style. I was happy to see that most of the seeds sprouted, then they got a little cramped, so I separated the little seedlings into their own cells. Look at their pretty little leaves!
