Just harvested a basket of marigolds for stringing into a garland for the front of our house. We're getting some rain and the early whispers of fall here in Cali π§‘ Time to slowly begin the process of breaking down the garden and button up for winter. Plum jam and pepper sauces are next.

The big main bed has had all the garlic harvested, there remains #onions, #leeks, #shallots & other heirloom #tomatoes. Some βDay of the Deadβ #marigolds have returned! My #zinnias, #pumpkins and #squash have all burst through the woodchip layer. Soon this whole #garden bed will be criss-crossed by vines.

Good morning #BloomScrolling! This morning the #coreopsis really caught my eye. Iβm so happy to see the #SweetPeas still blooming! And I love my #marigolds.

A strand of my friend's blonde hair fell & landed on this calendula flower β€
I notice little details.

Now you may ask yourself why I pulled the #marigolds from my #vegetable #garden and the primary reason is that Iβm fairly certain that they were attracting aphids to my veggies. I planted them because they are supposed to repeal pests, but the more I read about companion planting, the more that I realize most of the recommendations arenβt based on any sort of hard evidence.
After this year, no more planting marigolds near my fruits & veggies. #Gardening.

The monster #Marigolds are not marigolding!
There are eight or ten of these grown from seeds that are huge and no #flowers in sight.

My #dahlias are beginning to flower. Still waiting on many #lilies & #marigolds to bloom. I sowed marigolds a few weeks late this year. I grow 2 kinds of marigolds & 9 different types of lilies.

I have been doing yellow marigolds for a few years. Something different this year. #marigolds #blooms
Are you ready for some #gardening
A week late on planting the corn but we have until June 1st.
#3Sisters
Watch this space!
Today is Friday, May 19th.
Saturday, May 20, the mounds will be made and corn will be planted. #Marigolds and #Sunflowers will be planted also.
Next we wait for #beans and #pumpkins, #squash, #melons & #zucchini planting time.
While we wait for the corn, raised beds around the edge will be made for traditional garden plants like #tomatoes, #peppers, #lettuce, etc.

#Marigolds might as well be #weeds. These have taken over a #garden bed, and need to be thinned out and moved elsewhere.
Happy Friday!
Here are some submissions for #FloweringFriday because flowers are one of my favourite things to take photos of and my photo stream shows 8,479 photos when I search βflowerβ.

How to plant marigolds.
1. Start with 2 lge planters. Mine are 75x35cm.
2. Remove cat from 1st planter. Fill planter with soil. Repeat for 2nd.
3. Thoroughly water soil. Sooth wet, indignant cat.
5. Remove cat; press holes in soil about 20cm apart, 1/2 finger deep.
6. Divide # seeds by # holes. Remove cat from planters and add quotient (up to ~3 seeds) to each hole, pushing soil in on top as you go.
7. Seeds sprout in 7-10 days, except where the cat sleeps.
Still blooming
