Marigolds

Marigolds are common flowers, yet year after year there seems to be new varieties in this plant. They often say that when you plant marigolds in your garden you have lesser pests. But my marigold has so many mealy bugs on them. Mealy bugs drink the sap of your plants and kills them.

They are such colorful, bright flowers, that it is hard to overlook them. I always put marigolds in the dullest corner of my garden to give it a boost of color and lift.

I also plant these along the fence  for some color and brightness. Last year I had a whole bunch of them growing on the sidewalks.  People admired them as they walked past.
