Weedwhacker said: I love calendulas - only had a few growing this year, definitely will plant more next year!
When I lived in Dearborn many years ago, I used to start over 20 flats of annuals every year. Lots of calendula:) Some 25 years ago I moved to the country and focused on growing perennials, shrubs and trees. Many years the only annuals I grew were tomatoes. This year I built a few new garden beds and rekindled my interest in annuals. Next year I plan to grow even more:)
The birds love sunflowers. Autumn Beauty sunflower from this year...
