marigolds

Not only do they keep insects away from your vege, but they are also a nitrogen fixer for the soil. Used as a green manure crop, marigolds fix nemetode infestations - as Jerry Colby-Williams discusses.....

fields and fields and fields......
But not only are they yellow and orange, they come in other colours too and really add punch to the vege patch!

am growing the yellow, orange and white... need to try the red.
