Do all marigolds smell like 'marigolds'?
Comments (11)The seeds that I planted weren't calendula :(....different varieties and heights of marigolds. I think everyone must know about my "weed"! It's growing taller every day and looking less compact and less like a marigold. It's between 6"-8" tall just from the rain over nite. Once these weeds are gone, the sunshine can get to the real marigolds underneath. It will also look much more organized and less "weedy" when they start to fill in. Thanks again for your help!

Comments (3)Marigolds are pretty durable. ;) But why not try a germination test on them before investing much time and effort? Fold up 10-12 seeds in a wet coffee filter or paper towel, put it in a ziplock bag and in front of a sunny window. Check it in 3 days and each day after to see if any germinated. It will give you a good indication of the viability of the seeds. Good luck. Dave...See MoreAre all the cacti fruits edible?

Comments (16)I don't know if all crabapples are edible but last fall I made some crabapple jelly from a neighbor's tree (variety unknown). It was quite good. I also made a dessert wine from it, also good. In addition another neighbor has a crabapple tree that fits the description of the tree that you have. I researched it and it appears to be a variety called "Sargent". The fruit is red, small, quite tart and tannic but it is edible. I plan on trying to make both jelly and wine from it this coming fall. I have tasted and eaten its fruit but it is too tart and tannic to enjoy, however jelly and wine might be another story. I am still alive by the way. You could give it a try. The recipe for the jelly was from "The Joy of Cooking". Good luck...See Moreballoonflower
