  1. Last year I planted marigold next to other garden flowers and i noticed that some of them didn’t bloom like in previous year or didn’t look as healthy as I knew its were. On the other hand the beautiful marigold grew in their glory and beauty. So I was wondering if it is something to do with these gorgeous, which I’m gonna experiment this year and move the marigolds elsewhere to see if my lilies will come alive this year
