[quote:Only Me:MV80NzU3Njc1Xzg3MDMyMDkwXzZCRTQwM0E=] [quote:Nonentity:MV80NzU3Njc1Xzg3MDMxNzUwX0JERjFCNjVE] [quote:Nonentity:MV80NzU3Njc1Xzg3MDMxNzExX0FFOUE0M0NG] [quote:Only Me:MV80NzU3Njc1Xzg3MDMxNjczXzE3MENFRjUy] Question for the seasoned gardeners: My dogs dug and spread marigolds everywhere and now they are sprouting up with my spinach. Should I pull them or will the spinach do okay with the competition? They are everywhere. Absolutely everywhere omg [/quote] Marigolds keep a lot of nasty insects away. I always have a bunch between the garden and areas with insects like woods, wild grasses. [/quote] I think it will be ok but, marigolds like a higher Ph. If too acidic they get black spots on leaves. Try it and see. Some plants grow well together, some don't. Trial and error. [/quote] I'm mostly worried that they will keep the spinach from growing. Do they overpower them at all? I mean, there are TONS of them LOL all over the place [/quote]

Let's take a deep breath and relax by the plants, you guys. Seriously - this world has gone to absolute shit and I went and sat outside barefoot in my little (beginner's) garden, and I literally FELT my blood pressure go down...I felt my body relax.
So this is my first actual garden. I've grown things here and there, but this is the first time I actually sat down and planned out an actual garden. I saw my first potato sprouts yesterday and squealed with delight. I grew that!
There are few things as exciting as watching veggies grow that you put there yourself.
Oh. my. goodness....why didn't I start doing this earlier???
