Belle (she/her)Good news! The rest of my marigold seeds are ACTUALLY marigolds. The other plant that popped up either snuck in the pack or wandered there by itself (totally plausible, birds are responsible for half the plants in my backyard.) #marigolds #gardening
@totalynotanoob Look!! The rest of my seeds turned out!

Now that's more like it. The pollinators will absolutely love them! Mine attract a lot of cute bees and bumblebees.
Also a lot of hoverflies which is awesome since their larvae eat aphids who in turn seem to dislike at least some Marigold types. I have strategically planted them this year because of this and only got a tiny aphid colony that was quickly eaten by various predators.
