I've just managed to get on. To the website.

No to French marigold or corn marigold.

Pot marigold is fine.

Calendula is fine too.

Hi, thanks to you both. Next silly question.... is there anyway of telling what I have bought or do I just plant these elsewhere and try again. I just bought 'marigolds'. J x

Janie
Perhaps easier for you if you look at the photos on this web site:

www.thetortoisetable.org.uk

It is a fantastic site and you can find out easily about all sorts of weeds, flowers and herbs.

That's great, thanks. I will check it out. Just been to the vets to check them over and it
appears that Ermintrude is a boy! Will need to have a bit of a rethink......

Ermitrude a boy! Oh my goodness. I wouldn't change his name, still a great name.

My two are getting on fine, but they have lots of room and still only 9 and of course not Hermans.

I had 2 cockerels called Isabel and Isabella and the children that named them couldn't see why they needed to be changed. Of course they were quite right!
