My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Seed Saving

Marigold cross pollination

21 years ago

Hi all --

Hoping some of you seed saving experts can help me here. Last year I had some fabulous First Lady marigolds that I saved seeds from. Only thing is, I had several other marigold varieties in the vicinity (within 5 - 10 feet lets say). Do you think its possible that the seeds I collected from those First Lady's at the end of last season had been cross pollinated? I just want to make sure I get what I'm expecting...

Thanks

Emily
