🌼 Don’t toss your marigolds at the end of the season… they’re full of next year’s flowers. Saving marigold seeds is one of the easiest ways to fill your garden for free. Here’s how: 🌼 Wait until the flower head is completely dry. 🌼 Pull it apart to reveal the long black-and-cream seeds. 🌼 Store them in a paper envelope somewhere cool and dry over winter. 🌼 Plant them next spring and enjoy another season of blooms. One plant can produce hundreds of seeds, making this one of my favourite ways to save money in the garden. 💛 Save this reel for fall when your marigolds are ready to collect, and send it to a fellow gardener who loves free plants! #Marigolds #SeedSaving #GardeningTips #Zone3Gardening #edmontonoilers
