I didn't get around to pulling up the dead Marigolds last fall and I wonder if I can take the pods off of them to start new flowers for this year and save some $$$$. Has anyone done this when the pods have been outside all winter? I opened one up and the seeds look just fine. Just wondering if it would work. Thanks

I save marigolds every year Tina...I have one in particular that has a bit of a family story behind it. Many times they get rained on and frozen, but they still germinate. Put a few in a warm, damp paper towel and see if they sprout.
I did wet a paper towel and put the seeds in it but nothing is happening yet. I'm not sure how many days it takes to sprout. I'll try some in a seed starter tray as well. Thanks for the advice. I'll let you know if they grow.
