I’ve only been to the plot once so far this week as there’s been plenty of rain. I had a look round but the ground is too soggy to do anything. The outlook through into next week doesn’t look much better so I guess that I’ll be mostly armchair gardening.
One of my favourite Calendula/ Pot marigolds is the variety Snow Princess which has creamy pale lemon yellow flowers with both dark and light centres, and occasionally there are white ones. This picture is from September 2016.
There weren’t many this year and I don’t know how many seeds, if any, I collected and saved so I’ve bought a packet of 100 plus. I’ll probably add half of these to the seeds I have saved, and sow the other half seperately.
I didn’t pull up the bright orange and golden yellow flowering Oopsy Daisy I had growing in the black plastic half barrel by the shed. I cut it back and hope that it survives the winter then starts growing again in the spring. If it doesn’t I will remove it and sow some more seed.
Have a good weekend, and take care!

One thing is certain, the summer always comes back. This makes enduring the cold and wet a little bit easier. Enjoy the comfort of your armchair. x

Nice garden plans. I should be making some too, but putting it off for a couple more weeks…maybe even until after Christmas.

Marigolds are usually good at self-seeding and appear to be quite resilient to many weather patterns. Added fresh seed can only add to their continued growth.
Nice sharp photo from 9 years ago!
Have a good weekend Mxxx

Yes, a damp and soggy week … although a neighbour was out sweeping up more leaves this afternoon when the sun came out albeit briefly!
Enjoy your weekend

Those pot marigolds are practically guaranteed to return. I only save seeds for giving away as there is so much in the soil/mulch that something always sprouts.

Nikki I hope so. Good for you, I give most of my seeds away as well. xx
