Oil on MasoniteFramed18x12 Marigolds (Tagetes spp.) are a staple in vegetable gardens. They provide vibrant aesthetic appeal and natural pest control, blooming from spring until first frost. Planted along the edge of the raised bed in our backyard, they released scents that repelled insects and secreted thiophene from their roots to kill nematodes.
