Hahahahha, really, you hate cilantro but enjoy marigolds? Now roses and lemon verbena, yup, I am in on those. Fresh mint is pretty awesome too.
Hope this finds you well and enjoying the harvest. We have been so busy but we know it's now or never to get everything in and processed, it will all be gone soon. bummer!

Yeah, drove my husband crazy cause he hated marigold scent...

That's funny, did you bring them in the house just to razz him? I would. hehe
I plant marigolds all through the gardens, I have heard the scent keeps bugs away. I just think they stink.

I plant them all through the garden for the same reason. But just before a frost I would pick a lot and bring them in. :)) I also dehydrated them for the chickens, and back then, the dehydrators were in the house....

Oh never thought of that, feeding the chickens with them. I too clip the last of them, but I dry them out to keep the seeds for next year. Marigolds are such pretty, bright flowers that are easy to grow.
