| I've a section of border where marigolds have been coming up every year for perhaps six years. It is a short plant with single flowered orange petals.
This year nothing none has germinated. Scratching through the soil I find many marigold seed from last year. The weather has been indistinguishable from previous years. What do you conjecture may have happened. |
