This marigold may not be the most impressive plant you've ever seen, I get it. But to me, it's one of my biggest accomplishments in the garden this year. I saved seeds from the summer marigold I bought at a local nursery (bottom left), and managed to grow a whole new plant worth potting.

She ain't pretty, but she does the trick. Next year I'll build a proper insect netting structure, but for now I'm getting by with binder clips and lots of wishful thinking.
