I just finished planting marigolds 4 o'clocks and wild flowers from seed, and while I was planting these from seed (Note: I have never planted marigolds from seed) and I opened the marigold pkt and I seen the seeds aren't anything like a normal seed, they're like small sticks! Tip of them are a tooth pick color and the rest is black! I thought that was pretty neat.
Marigolds are one of my favorite seeds for some reason... I guess because they are so different from "fat ones". I hope they all sprout and flower for you. It's still amazes me to see a bloom and think "and this came from that little seed?"
I like those 4 o'clock seeds. They look like tiny little barrels! My daughter always loved collecting them and saving them for the following spring. They sure do self sow too!
I like marigold and 4o' clock seeds because they are easy to collect for next year! My plan this year is to plant the "Petunia Tree" with marigolds instead of petunias for something different!
