🌼 French Marigold
The colorful "Bodyguards" for your vegetables.
📅 Start Date: Mid-April.
🌱 Setup: Plant 2 seeds per cell and snip the smaller one with scissors (don't pull it out, or you'll hurt the neighbor's roots).
💡 Light: They love the "Daylight" LED bulbs. It keeps them from getting "floppy."
🌬️ Air: Marigolds are prone to mold in damp basements. Keep that fan running!
✨ The Benefit: Marigolds have a strong smell that confuses pests like aphids and cabbage moths. Plus, they look beautiful on an Alberta patio!
