@DaddyEvil If he sleeps past the stop, then he needs to learn the lesson.

I am looking at the marigolds of my neighbor and I know that next year I will plant those flowers.

@JudyEv It seems that those flowers also protect the vegetables from some pests.

I love marigolds. They are so happy and cheery. Do you grow pumpkin and watermelon yearly? How big do they get?

@JudyEv You have to watch them, they will go over to your neighbours! Most years I have to pull pumpkins out of the hedge between us and next door. One year I even had to sneak into their garden to head off the vines

@Fleura They might go through the bars onto the footpath.

I've grown pumpkin before but not watermelon. They might find it hard here as there is so little space but I'm hoping they won't mind going round and round and up and over themselves.

It's amazing that one tiny plant can have such a big flower. We have a 75th birthday party to go to shortly. We've been at the clubhouse helping them set up.

They will be so nice when they bloom. Hope Vince makes it home without falling a sleep on the train.

@Happy2BeMe They do look extra lovely if there is a biggish area of them.

@JudyEv Our city plants marigolds all over the city. They look so nice when they are all bloomed.

What is a bursar? Oh gosh has he ever fell asleep and missed his stop before?

Until we moved here we didn't regularly catch the train. A bursar is a fancy name for a business administrator in a school.

The marigolds are beautiful. My backache stops me from gardening now. So I avoid gardening though I want to.

Can you grow a few things in pots? I can't do much gardening but I have very little room now.

I always have marigolds in the garden. The yellow ones are so pretty. Like sunshine. I know Vince enjoyed his luncheon.

I think marigolds are supposed to help keep aphids away too. Have you heard that?

@CarolDM Mum would plant sunflowers around the apple trees hoping the parrots would eat the sunflowers instead of the apples.

@JudyEv Yes, they have a scent that keeps deer away as well. Many plant them around their gardens here for that reason.

Since pumpkins and watermelons grow on vines, you could train them to go up a sturdy trellis. Alternately, you could share half the seedlings with neighbors.
