Calendula - Farendwoman - 13-07-2023
Once upon a time I was a member of the gardening forum that is no longer in my good books!
They refused to let me participate in the seed exchange - even though I had done so many times before ( apparently I was a day late!)
Good old Veggie spotted the communications I was having and came to the rescue, suggesting that I join this forum instead. (Thank you Veggie - a far friendlier community.)
Anyway some of you may remember that I put a picture of a particularly pretty stripy calendula on that forum.
I saved a bit of seed from the pretty little thing and sowed it this year when I found it lurking in my shoe box. It must be four (maybe more) years old.
I was very pleased to see that I have managed to get a very similar one this year.
Lots of them were not as interesting - but still nice enough!

Ooooh, that is pretty.
RE: Calendula - Veggie - 13-07-2023
So glad you joined us, FEW ...............and this is a good opportunity to remind you all that there will be another seed swap later this year

We’re all pleased you here FEW
. That’s a very pretty calendula. I’ve started saving seeds.
RE: Calendula - Farendwoman - 16-07-2023
Yes - me too!
Got a really pretty little matricaria (feverfew) that has just gone over- so can’t take a photo. Going to save seed from that.

I'll take a pass on feverfew, thanks. My garden is full of it - single and double petalled.
