Marigolds are originally from Mexico and Guatemala. In the early 16th century they were brought to Europe. They quickly became popular in gardens. They are easy to grow and bloom til frost! Marigolds contains lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids that are essential for maintaining good eye health. These compounds help protect the eyes from damage caused by ultraviolet rays and reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Sister Helen told me that chickens love the blooms. I’m going to pick some and give my girls a treat♥️ she gifted me these that she started from seeds.
I’m going to leave my weights, ball and band at the gym and needed a small gym bag. I found this in the shop. It held a tool Larry had purchased. I washed it and I think it’ll work fine. Sister Helen says I’m tight. I say frugal!

I don't like the smell of marigolds but the ones you have are gorgeous. I've bought a few and prefer the orange or multi-color ones which I have this year. I don't think our slugs like them which is a plus!
Marigolds are very pretty and they can withstand wind and rain! I bet the chickens will love them! Nice gym bag!
