Who doesn't love Marigolds? Those little ruffled yellow & orange flowers just add a pop of color to any spot & they keep bugs away. Did you know you can that you can gather the seeds and regrow them next year? I didn't. This seriously easy.
Pull or cut the spent flower off. Let it dry. Or if you are lazy like me, wait until it is dry on the plant then pull it.
Pull the dried petals out. Sorry for the dark photos, but I'm not a photographer.
Pull the seeds out of the bottom & store them for next year. The seeds are thin with black on the bottom. Each one can grow another plant. Each flower could hold around 50 seeds. If you planted & cultivated each seed you'd have 50 plants for free. Which could save you a lot of money. Even if they were $1 each that's $50 you saved!
