I was in a store this morning gathering supplies when I remembered that I need to get some vegetable seeds to plant. It’s been too busy a year to do much, but I still wanted to grow something. So I grabbed some seeds.

Later, as I was getting ready to plant them, I realized, drat, I should have also looked for some marigold seeds. Growing marigolds in with the vegetables noticeably reduces the number of hornworms we have to pick off the tomato plants. Oh well.

But as I started to clear away last year’s marigold plants, I realized that I didn’t need to buy seeds at all.

There were plenty of seeds left on the old plants. Who knew? 🙂
