What should I do with all the marigold seeds?

[vickilynn]

I live along the coast of SC. So I think they would come up next year if I put them in the soil now. Right or Wrong?

i save them, break the seed pods open, spread them to dry on a cookie sheet and bag them a PAPER sack for next year. no plastic, the little seeds can't breathe.

thank you....I'll have enough to plant and give away. That's a good thing.
thank you

If you plant them now they'll come up in a week or so. Save them for next spring.

Don't know your area for gardening.......but

don't forget you now have trading material .....trade some for something else if you have gobs of them. What a frugal way to expand the garden. I am always trying to trade plants and seeds.
