It may look like I planted a marigold jungle 😆🌼, but there’s a method to the madness!
A sweet gardening grandmother 👵 I met at Home Depot two years ago shared a tip I’ll never forget:
“Marigolds discourage deer 🦌 and rabbits 🐇 from snacking on your garden. They hate the smell”
Today’s finishing touch? A cozy layer of hay to lock in moisture, suppress weeds, and keep this raised bed happy. 🌱
Check back in a few weeks for the growth transformation!
