Marigolds in the Vegetable Garden





Marigold are supposed to deter nematodes. I haven't seen any sign of their reduction! Maybe I should try French Marigolds because some organic-believers tout the French Marigolds specifically for nematode deterrence.
This is certainly their season. They love the fall weather. In my zone 8b climate they will die back, but in Houston they will remain evergreen through the winter. They are excellent reseeders and once you plant marigolds you will always have marigolds.
