This is turning into garden week here. Along with the fern I bought at Lowe's, I also found marigolds on clearance. To start I had a tray of 18 marigolds marked at $4 in my cart. A bit more digging found six packs marked at $0.50. I ended up with 36 marigolds for $3. This was great since the seeds I planted never sprouted. I prefer to keep my garden as organic as possible. I hate the thought of using chemicals to get rid of pests. Marigolds are one of the best natural pest repellents. I used them last year to keep worms and other bad bugs off my tomato plants. I was thrilled with how well they worked.
I knew I wanted marigolds in my garden again. I had enough to put in with my tomato and pepper plants. I also added them to my mom's plants. Three dollars for a pest repellent is a bargain! Even better it only has to be applied once.
