After a marigold blossom starts to die back, I cut it off and let it dry out for a day or two. Then I can open it up and take out the seeds inside, which look like small black-and-white needles, and plant more, or save them for next spring. Some people don't like marigolds because of their smell, but I think they are beautiful, with their orange and red and gold ruffles, and they help protect the other plants from being eaten by insects. They're one of my favourite flowers!
