Message from Devon Anderson

Greer, South Carolina

I bought a little marigold cutting in a plastic cup at a plant sale at a local school and planted it in a pot in my patio garden. It's been so much fun watching it grow and multiply! Brings such a happy pop of color to my garden! One thing I have learned is to water at the soil, not on top of the flowers, it can cause a white film on the leaves. I just love marigolds!! Looking forward to planting some more!

Note from the Roots on the Rise team: Thanks for your input, Devon! We appreciate your tip about watering the soil instead of the flowers.
