    Right then, is this just your common and garden marigold? It's all over my garden and seems to grow like a weed. I've tried digging it up but it just comes back. How do I get rid of it?

    Cheers,

    Steve

    Eat them...well the petals anyway...go lovely in a salad:dbgrtmb:...but if you want rid of them dig them out before they set seed and next year as you see any coming through get the hoe out and keep chopping them back...:dbgrtmb:

    Blimey - If I ate all that lot in my garden I think I'd probably turn orange. So, they are marigold's then?
