Are you sure she's a Beagle?<br /><br />I don't really know myself, Steph, whether the Marigolds actually do the job they're supposed to do, but they are so easy to grow from seed and look so pretty too. They really brighten up the allotment.<br /><br />I agree Avis, they are such a cheery flower. <br /><br />Honesty reminds me of my grandma, Elizabeth. She always used to have the dried flower pods in a vase. I haven't got a photo of my daughter's patch, but I will certainly take one and add it to my blog.<br /><br />It's good to know that the marigolds worked for you, Clare.<br /><br />It will be good to compare if the marigolds work, Bangchik. Even if they don't they will still brighten up your vegetable garden.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-34349490798152995992009-06-27T16:55:56.757+01:002009-06-27T16:55:56.757+01:00I never know that marigolds produce pesticidal che...I never know that marigolds produce pesticidal chemical from their roots...
