This year I started sowing again, seeds from flowers from my own garden. I find this so...

As you already know I've become an avid gardener. I will let you enjoy what I have been doing in recent weeks, here already my seedlings of flowers from which I seeded last year. I sowed the Judas medal (the purple flowers) in the ground last year and are now blooming wonderfully. They are the host plant for orange tips (butterfly species) that lays its eggs on it and the caterpillar feeds on the leaves of the plant.

What pretty flowers! Have you actually seen the butterflies or caterpillars on your plants?

Vera, they look wonderful- it is really exciting when you are able to grow things from seeds. I typically don't have good luck with that. The marigold seeds that I harvested last year got planted in some buckets last week and are already are popping up. When they are sturdy enough, I will transplant them along the side of the yard for some nice color.
Keep sharing the pictures as they grow, Please!

no unfortunately not, but who knows next year? It also took a while for the birds, but once they know the way they keep coming.

i also have the marigold and are the easiest plants to sow, here they are one of the last sown and they came out first. They do well in the vegetable garden to keep out bugs.

yes, marigolds and those purple ones, gosh i can't think of the name,yes some keep the bugs away and those purple ones serve as fertilizer at the end of the season, you can dig them under the sand
