Plant some Marigolds in your vegetable garden to add color and repel nematodes.
Planting Instruction:
Plant seed directly into the ground once danger of frost has passed or start indoors 4-6 weeks prior to last frost for earlier blooms. Seed starting indoors has never been easier with the wonderful selection of Jiffy products to make the process easy and successful!
Plant in full sun. These easy to grow annuals can grow and survive quite well even in poor soil.
Sow seeds 3 mm (1/8″) deep and 2.5 cm (1″) apart.
