I'm disabled so I garden with grow bags. I tuck a couple marigolds in each bag. Adds color and beauty to my garden. And I dry them and have marigold tea all winter.
I heartily agree with you. My kids have been helping every spring to collect dandelions for jelly. We love it. I can’t wait to start cooking with my marigolds ❤️❤️❤️
Here's a yummy Raw recipe for Marigold Bars (Adapted from Ascension Kitchen's recipe): Servings: 8 Time: 20 mins 1 heaped cup marigold petals, plus extra for garnish ¾ cup grated carrot ½ cup shredded coconut ½ cup almond meal 1 cup almonds ¼ cup goji berries ¼ cup sunflower seeds ¼ cup pumpkin seeds 2 tablespoons chia seeds 1 teaspoon vanilla paste/essence ½ cup coconut butter ¼ cup maple syrup 1 teaspoon white miso 1 tablespoon orange zest, plus extra for garnish Place the coconut butter and maple syrup in a jug, and rest it over a bath of hot water or on a hot stove to soften or liquefy. Roughly chop the whole almonds in the food processor. You want to have a few chunks in there because you are going to pulse together two more times, and you don't want it turn into almond butter. Add all other dry ingredients, except the flower petals and goji berries, and pulse till combined. Pour the coconut butter and maple syrup into the mixture, and add the vanilla paste, pulse again till combined. Add the flower petals and goji berries at the end for one final quick pulse. Transfer mixture to an 8 inch square cake tin lined with parchment paper, use the back of a spoon or clean hands and another piece of parchment paper to flatten the surface. Press slivered almonds and more marigold leaves over the top to decorate, and perhaps some extra orange zest. Freeze to set, cut into 8 large bars to serve. Enjoy!
Shalom Doug and Stacey.... Me and my wife have been watching you all for 4 yrs now....we want to do what you all are doing, and we finally have taken baby steps.. we purchased RV... We moved from NC to Arkansas just 2 months ago and trying to purchase a few acres and you all have really shown us a lot... blessings to you...
In terms of gardening I may be wrong. But you was better off in NC . Nice weather for Peanuts and many other things that only growth on warmer weathers .
Your garden is beautiful... I absolutely love it!!! And also I love your channel. I’m always learning new and interesting things. Thank you Doug and Stacy for these videos. I can binge watch your channel all day everyday and never get bored!
On one gardening channel they said marrigolds also mask the smell of when like zuchinis vines break , which evidently attracts the bugs that eat your vines , vine borers I think but they said marigolds mask that oder that draws in the bad bugs so it's a great way if getting rid of garden pests organically too. Thank you ❤️
I learned more about the values of marigolds here: I wondered about the stems, but she says they are bitter? Note: I've over fertilized my Marigolds, and they are not blooming: I learned that Marigolds prefer poor soil in order to bloom: and I trimmed mine back too. I hope they bloom soon, so I can try lots of these ideas!
In México we make a beverage with marigolds using cinnamon, raw carne sugar and "masa" ( nixtamalized corn) mainly consume in " día de muertos", also in tamales and soups
When I watch UA-cam videos. I’m looking for information. And when it’s three minutes into the video before any information is given, I usually skip to the next video. That being said. GORGEOUS farm, and stay on point. Five and a half minutes before marigolds are talked about
I just bought marigolds this year to plant for their health benefits and to ward off pest. I bet they would be good in breads and very beautiful. You could also freeze some in ice cubes then drop some in a cold ginger tea, green tea, or any tea, or water. Thanks for sharing the video. 😊
Hello Stacey, When my house burned in 2013, all of my flower beds around the house were destroyed when we rebuilt the house. We moved back in to our hose in October of 2014. My father passed away in January of 2015, he left me a small inheritance which is what I used to rebuild my front walkway and flower beds. I had decided when I was selecting plant for it that I would only put edible plants in it. I figured if I’m going to put the effort into my flowers that I would get not only the beauty of them , but the medicinal and nutritional value as well. My dad always had flowers growing in our yard, so this was also a great way for me to honor his memory as well.
This is great to know. Didn't know humans could eat the petals. I have heard feeding marigolds to chicken feed makes the yolks more yellow as well. Thanks for the info.
@Poison Ivy They have a generator they use with a wringer washer. Look up Laundry Day. Also the hose did work but ran slow because of low pressure. She is NOT a VICTIM. You see what you want to.
My grandma would make Nasturtium leaf pesto. She also used the flowers of marigold and ‘’Nasties’’, as she called them, in bulgar wheat cold salads. Because of her I always grow Nasturtium and Marigolds in my garden. I’m definitely going to make everything you mentioned in this video with the flowers I grow from marigold seeds I saved from last year. Great video.
THANK YOU! I JUST LEARNT SOMETHING NEW! I ONLY PLANT MERIGOLDS FOR THE BEAUTY OF IT, BUT NOW I KNOW IT CAN BE EATEN ALSO..LOVELY.MAY GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU CONTINUE TO GROW YOUR BEAUTIFUL GARDEN, AND SHARING WITH OTHERS!!!THANKS AGAIN
mine hardly reseed, now I take the blossoms off for tea, since they will not come up as they should :) I save some seeds and start them in pots so I have them again.
@@donnettehenderson2447 Okay you are warmer than me. I know zone 6 you can do that with snap dragons and sometimes in zone 5 where I'm at. Thx for the answer
@@catw5294 yes, snap dragons come back by themselves here too. We are supposed to get a few inches of snow here in the morning which is a little unusual for this time of year.
I made ghee the other day for the first time - used camp oven with fire brick on a Coleman stove. I am new to preserving and solo appreciate how methodical they are. Some people are disorganized and it hurts my brain cell trying to follow along lol. So, Thank You D&S!!! Inspiring couple, who are willing to try different methods and share both success and fails allowing us to learn with them....
I made ghee in my oven as Stacey showed us. Now my husband will inform me when we are getting low on ghee! He loves it in/on just about everything. 😊 easy and it works!
I had a gardner friend that showed me how he put marigolds in with his tomatoes an by his leeks an radishes an a couple other plants he had growing .i miss his knowledge on things he used to show me.he passed away from a really bad cancer a few years ago.Ialways plant marigolds now cause of him.and he put enchincia flowers in between some plants too.
@@nicemomasmr I had a tiny butterfly kept flying an sitting on my shirt an everytime I shoo'd it off me it came right back so I took a picture of it.never seen one like it before an then I had two monarch butterflies later on the enchincia flowers an they wouldnt fly away either..and I had a walking stick an it was bright green an it stayed by my porch for three days.never seen a green one only a dark brownish one that would get color of tree bark but never a green one.took picture of that too.an it got on my arm an wouldnt get off.I had to put it back on the plastic orange snow saucer it was on.lol..my friend was like my dad and grandma very smart in gardening an weeds.
Wow, just watching this 2 years after it originally posted. I'm so glad I found this, I have fallen in love with Marigold flowers and now find that I can eat them!! Mind blowing and I can't wait to try. Stacy you gave so many suggestions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
All the marigolds in my yard are volunteers 😊 from last year's plants. About 10 of them even grew in a shady, gravely area underneath a tree; some grew on a gravel walkway and some in the garden area. The ones in the gravel are small. The ones in the garden soil also get all day hot sun (zone 9) and are large plants.
These flowers are going to be on my list to plant. I love how you show us flowers to grow that we can eat. Thank you so much for all the information. Cant wait to grow them and eat them. Love you guys. Love your videos.
That was so informative 👍❤️ Who knew that marigolds have so many wonderful benefits and uses. I’m excited to try the marigold petals in my eggs, also the tea sounds delightful 💕
This has always been my dream to live off grid grow and make everything. Just the way God intended! Where do you find a man like that is my question? You guys are Absolutely awesome! Thanks for all the wonderful things you're teaching us!!
Yes absolutely i wrote it down. I have had flowers in a lemon poppyseed chicken salad. It was delicious. It was back in the 90's when i work in medical records the nurses made it for us all to have a large luncheon together. It was a hit so much so i and others asked for the recipe! There were dandelions and oddly enough even though they are bitter it was very tasty because of the ingredients worked together it made it perfectly ok. They made lemon flavoted french bread with a dusting of confectioners sugar then home made lemon poppy seed dressing with grilled diced chicken breast. Thank you for all your wisdom! I love it!
Marigold was the very first flower and plant I've ever grown all by myself, and having been told they're low maintenance and easy to handle is great. I'm glad I picked out those seeds.
Hello Stacy .... Zone 6 - Yep, Im an extreme gardener, mostly of flowers which I save and dry for various teas ..... marigolds, hibiscus, roses, bee balm,, etc. Love you & Dougs channel and all of the fantastic advice you share!
I have marigolds that have been germinated throughout the 1960s given a seed bundled to my mother by my grandmother. We always had marigolds outside our back door in a hedgerow type formation. But I never knew that you could eat them! How wonderful this news is to me thank you so much. The plants that we have grown nubs on the stems and even if you break one off you can lay the whole stem down in the ground and it will regrow a whole new offshoot of flowers and roots. They are heat Hardy and cold hardy, and though they like to get water they don't have to be. I live in an apartment but the apartment complex doesn't mind my spreading them around because it looks beautiful.
Thanks for all tips on marigolds! I planted them around my garden last year and the seeds are so easy to harvest. When the flowers have dried on the plant, pluck it off and put it in a brown paper bag. Now you have seeds for next year!
I love watching and looking . learning. U go Stacy & Doug. Yall have kept me watching for at least 5 ..6 ( Probably more ) yrs now. I gotta rewatch all the time. So whatever. I love uns. Hoping for a cookbook.
This year is my first successful season with lots of marigolds! Gonna try the addition to taco night as well as tea! Thanks for the info! Kristy in West Plains! LHS ‘86😃🇺🇸🥓
That's why I love your channel I learn so much , I grow a lot of marigolds ,and now I know they can be used for many things , & I have been growing my own ginger for two years now, love fresh ginger
I love Marigolds 💛🧡 I haven't tried eating them, but now I will 🤗 In my garden I do put them around my plants to help keep pest away. They do their job and I really enjoy the beauty of them. And I will be watching this video again to take notes on all the "nuggets" you gave about the amazing MARIGOLD 💛 Thank you Stacy 🧡
Yay! I love marigolds and I started about 100 plants this year to ring the garden. Now I’m excited to make marigold tea! And rice....yum! Thanks so much!
When I was a little girl, I INSISTED that we plant marigolds in the family garden. I just thought they were so pretty and not fussy. I had no idea that they were so versatile! I'm going to plant some with my peppers and basil!
Stacy....Thank You...... I think I wore a smile across my face during this video... I now remember my Grandmother using Flowers in dishes... You bring much needed joy....Bless you!
I love 'Tagetes tenuifolia', in Germany it is called "Gewürz-Tagetes" (spice-marygold). The petals are much smaller, but the plants smell so delicious! They can be used like the big marigolds against nematodes and other pests. I like them much more than other marigolds, they have a totally different smell and taste. You can use petals and leaves.
Those are sold here as Gem marigolds and come in lemon, tangerine and orange. All have the citrus fragrance to them and fine foliage. One of my favorites for years in my garden.
@@maryelaine-blinstrubchambe6083 Clearly not. They use marigolds as you can see in the video. Calendulas have a different look and different properties, they use marigolds. Calendulas do not have that effect to the pests in the dirt, that is an effect only from marigolds.
@@maryelaine-blinstrubchambe6083 these also smell differently than the marigolds used as bedding plants and have a little different flavor too. Calendula, while in the marigold family is a different genus too. So many lovely beneficial flowers, isn't it wonderful?
Thank you for explaining about marigolds. I don't know anything about them and how to use them. So great of you share your information. Really appreciate it. Thanks
I’ve recently been coming to the realization that marigolds are my favorite flower, and I didn’t even know all this! So excited to start exploring the news ways to use my marigold plants out on my patio :)
Thanks Stacy! I bought tiny marigold starts this year and planted them throughout my garden and they are HUGE! I love the idea of adding the petals to rice. Inspired!
I've been watching you two since last year and have learned a lot from y'all. Thanks for sharing so much of yourselves and your life. I've made a lot of foods that Stacy showed how to make. I didn't even know what kombucha was until Stacy told and showed how to make it. Plus now I ferment like crazy instead of canning. Thanks Stacy, you're the BEST!!! Thanks Doug you're tops in my book when it comes to all the building and chopping wood, ect... God bless both of you.
I have been companion plating marigolds in my garden with great success for a couple of years. Thank you so much for this information. I will surely try them all!
It’s a common question: Are marigold and calendula the same? The simple answer is no, and here’s why: Although both are members of the sunflower (Asteraceae) family, marigolds are members of the Tagetes genus, which includes at least 50 species, while calendula are members of the Calendula genus, a smaller genus with only 15 to 20 species. You could say the two colorful, sun-loving plants are cousins, but marigold and calendula differences are notable. Read more at Gardening Know How: Marigold Vs. Calendula - Difference Between Marigolds And Calendulas www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/marigold/marigold-vs-calendula.htm
Thank you! This is a common confusion. Two different genus. The common Marigold of the Tagetes genus is commonly known as Pot Maarigold. Because people would add them to their cooking pot. Calendula is know more for it's medicinal qualities. I love both of the plants and flowers, but use each of them in completely different ways.
I love seeing your garden! My kids are going to be surprised when we make salads using marigolds, dandelions, and chamomile. Thank you for broadening our horizons with food.
I have always done the same tons of marigolds for the reason they are great companion plants and they just damn well make me smile. And have put them in salads through the summer along with other edible flowers, borage, tiny pansies etc. But this year I also grew some chamomile for the first time and started saving the flowers, learned a lot from you on that, but I also started drying the marigold petals. So I have mixed them with the chamomile. So will have tea over the winter. Apparently the combination of the two is extremely good for insomnia. So I will soon find out. The dried mixture of the two looks so beautiful in the jar as well. So sad it is garden season coming to an end but it is also so beautiful in many ways.
Hmm, historically I did not like the smell of marigold except when they are eaten by chickens. Next year I will apply your advice throughout my garden. I will also endeavour to eat the flowers. Thanks for the new information. I enjoy your dream garden, great work Stacey👍💪🏾💃😊

Thank you, I don't know why I wasn't thinking about drying them
I think Marigold and Dandelions are the two most overlooked medicinal flowers in our gardens. IMHO
I heartily agree with you.
My kids have been helping every spring to collect dandelions for jelly. We love it.
I can’t wait to start cooking with my marigolds ❤️❤️❤️
DANDELIONS????
@@khamir49 Could you; please, expand on your question.
What are the dandelions used for? I thought they were just edible
Joshua Vazquez dandelion root tea is good for decongestant the liver. Good detox.
Here's a yummy Raw recipe for Marigold Bars (Adapted from Ascension Kitchen's recipe):
Servings: 8 Time: 20 mins
1 heaped cup marigold petals, plus extra for garnish
¾ cup grated carrot
½ cup shredded coconut
½ cup almond meal
1 cup almonds
¼ cup goji berries
¼ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla paste/essence
½ cup coconut butter
¼ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon white miso
1 tablespoon orange zest, plus extra for garnish
Place the coconut butter and maple syrup in a jug, and rest it over a bath of hot water or on a hot stove to soften or liquefy.
Roughly chop the whole almonds in the food processor. You want to have a few chunks in there because you are going to pulse together two more times, and you don't want it turn into almond butter.
Add all other dry ingredients, except the flower petals and goji berries, and pulse till combined.
Pour the coconut butter and maple syrup into the mixture, and add the vanilla paste, pulse again till combined.
Add the flower petals and goji berries at the end for one final quick pulse.
Transfer mixture to an 8 inch square cake tin lined with parchment paper, use the back of a spoon or clean hands and another piece of parchment paper to flatten the surface. Press slivered almonds and more marigold leaves over the top to decorate, and perhaps some extra orange zest.
Freeze to set, cut into 8 large bars to serve.
Enjoy!

Thanks for all tips on marigolds! I planted them around my garden last year and the seeds are so easy to harvest. When the flowers have dried on the plant, pluck it off and put it in a brown paper bag. Now you have seeds for next year!
Dinner looked scrumptious! I love Marigolds in my garden, so many benefits to them. Thanks for sharing Stacy. Blessings
Girl, I'm going to have to start watching you more !! You teach me so much and I love your videos !! Thank you so very much !!❤🥀🥀🥀

I didn't know you could eat them or make tea with them! I do believe I will be planting more marigolds from now on!! Thank you Stacy 😊

Thank you for letting me know the healthy way of combining veggies and flowers.
That's why I love your channel I learn so much , I grow a lot of marigolds ,and now I know they can be used for many things
, & I have been growing my own ginger for two years now, love fresh ginger
It truly is gold, makes the garden a happy place : )
When I was a kid my mom would get so angry finding me picking petals from her plants and eating them. Especially her hibiscus and African violets.
Lolz that is such a Cool story.
As a child my cousin and a pal of my from class used to each evg get into 1/2 block away into the lilac garden. And play a lot .
I love Marigolds 💛🧡
I haven't tried eating them, but now I will 🤗
In my garden I do put them around my plants to help keep pest away. They do their job and I really enjoy the beauty of them.
And I will be watching this video again to take notes on all the "nuggets" you gave about the amazing MARIGOLD 💛
Thank you Stacy 🧡
Yay! I love marigolds and I started about 100 plants this year to ring the garden. Now I’m excited to make marigold tea! And rice....yum! Thanks so much!
This is a great idea! I'm going to try these recipes. Thanks Stacy another great nugget😍 God bless you and Doug 💖👼🙏💞
When I was a little girl, I INSISTED that we plant marigolds in the family garden. I just thought they were so pretty and not fussy. I had no idea that they were so versatile! I'm going to plant some with my peppers and basil!
Stacy....Thank You...... I think I wore a smile across my face during this video...
I now remember my Grandmother using Flowers in dishes... You bring much needed joy....Bless you!
marigolds was one of my moms favorite flowers to put in the garden
Hello from the Cayman Islands wonderful garden thank you for inspiring
👋
always nice to see Stacy. Oh, you're okay too, Doug. 😂😍
I'm super excited to try all these new to me ways to use marigolds. I'm starting several indoors this year so that they will bloom earlier.
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. I always learn something. God bless you all
I love 'Tagetes tenuifolia', in Germany it is called "Gewürz-Tagetes" (spice-marygold). The petals are much smaller, but the plants smell so delicious! They can be used like the big marigolds against nematodes and other pests. I like them much more than other marigolds, they have a totally different smell and taste. You can use petals and leaves.
Those are sold here as Gem marigolds and come in lemon, tangerine and orange. All have the citrus fragrance to them and fine foliage. One of my favorites for years in my garden.
Because it's a different plant. They use Calendulas.
@@maryelaine-blinstrubchambe6083 Clearly not. They use marigolds as you can see in the video. Calendulas have a different look and different properties, they use marigolds. Calendulas do not have that effect to the pests in the dirt, that is an effect only from marigolds.
@@TheTinkerersWife Yes! That is the plant I meant. Thank you!
@@maryelaine-blinstrubchambe6083 these also smell differently than the marigolds used as bedding plants and have a little different flavor too. Calendula, while in the marigold family is a different genus too. So many lovely beneficial flowers, isn't it wonderful?
I have a few marigolds and will try some in scrambled eggs tomorrow. thanks!
Thank you for explaining about marigolds. I don't know anything about them and how to use them. So great of you share your information. Really appreciate it. Thanks
Thank you Ms. Stacy! This video reminded me about the wonderful benefits of Marigold flowers.
God IS so good, all the time, look at your beautiful beautiful bounty, WOW! Thank you so much for sharing.
1st that food IS BEAUTIFUL. Next, that is a crown and C. 🤣 I love how that giant basket just POOF appears out of nowhere ❤️🤣🌱💪❤️
I have never eaten flowers, but would definitely like to try. Will be adding marigolds to our garden. Thanks Stacy!
I spent over an hour last night taking my marigold petals off of the seed portions to make an extract and a salve. I love the video, thanks 😊
I keep five or six envelopes with marigolds from the dollar store. No matter where I rest, I put some marigolds out.
Awesome info...I'm trying all ur drinks and they're delicious so I have to try this one too...thank you
Who knew you could eat Marigolds. I will definitely try this. I rally enjoy finding out what plants can be eaten.
Thanks Stacy!
Been playing with hibiscus, roses and have lots of marigolds, put them to use this year. Thank you Stacey, learned alot from you and Doug.
I’ve recently been coming to the realization that marigolds are my favorite flower, and I didn’t even know all this! So excited to start exploring the news ways to use my marigold plants out on my patio :)
Thanks Stacy! I bought tiny marigold starts this year and planted them throughout my garden and they are HUGE! I love the idea of adding the petals to rice. Inspired!
Save the seeds for next year!
One of my favorites Stacy I also love how they hang on all the way up to the first frost!!! Life is good. 🥰
I've been watching you two since last year and have learned a lot from y'all. Thanks for sharing so much of yourselves and your life. I've made a lot of foods that Stacy showed how to make. I didn't even know what kombucha was until Stacy told and showed how to make it. Plus now I ferment like crazy instead of canning. Thanks Stacy, you're the BEST!!! Thanks Doug you're tops in my book when it comes to all the building and chopping wood, ect... God bless both of you.
need to try them in eggs - been eating a lot of nasturtium flowers and leaves, I love the spicyness.
I have been companion plating marigolds in my garden with great success for a couple of years.
Thank you so much for this information. I will surely try them all!
Ha! I just plucked a bunch of marigolds yesterday, too! Awesome! I dry the petals for use throughout the off-season, too. How wonderful!!!
I like nasturtium but I never considered marigold they usually volunteer in my garden. Oh I am going outside to try them.
It’s a common question: Are marigold and calendula the same? The simple answer is no, and here’s why: Although both are members of the sunflower (Asteraceae) family, marigolds are members of the Tagetes genus, which includes at least 50 species, while calendula are members of the Calendula genus, a smaller genus with only 15 to 20 species. You could say the two colorful, sun-loving plants are cousins, but marigold and calendula differences are notable.

Bless you this video drove me insane I was screaming at it.
Thank you! This is a common confusion. Two different genus. The common Marigold of the Tagetes genus is commonly known as Pot Maarigold. Because people would add them to their cooking pot. Calendula is know more for it's medicinal qualities. I love both of the plants and flowers, but use each of them in completely different ways.
So the pot marigolds are not medicinal?
She didn't say they were the same.
Wow- this info is great - I will definitely look further into reading more via the link you listed. Thank you.
I love seeing your garden! My kids are going to be surprised when we make salads using marigolds, dandelions, and chamomile. Thank you for broadening our horizons with food.
Great flower and ideas. You have inspired me to use marigold in my cooking. And you make it look easy. Thank so much.
Marigold plants are great as pest repellents for your garden.
I have always done the same tons of marigolds for the reason they are great companion plants and they just damn well make me smile. And have put them in salads through the summer along with other edible flowers, borage, tiny pansies etc. But this year I also grew some chamomile for the first time and started saving the flowers, learned a lot from you on that, but I also started drying the marigold petals. So I have mixed them with the chamomile. So will have tea over the winter. Apparently the combination of the two is extremely good for insomnia. So I will soon find out. The dried mixture of the two looks so beautiful in the jar as well. So sad it is garden season coming to an end but it is also so beautiful in many ways.
My Marigolds are doing amazing in my garden. I have yet to eat them, but I have some ideas after watching this! Thank you. God Bless you.
I love the idea of using flowers in my cooking! ❤❤❤ Thank you for the great idea!
I can't wait to try marigolds in my cooking and tea. They're not that hard to grow either. Thank you!
Hmm, historically I did not like the smell of marigold except when they are eaten by chickens. Next year I will apply your advice throughout my garden. I will also endeavour to eat the flowers. Thanks for the new information. I enjoy your dream garden, great work Stacey👍💪🏾💃😊
Absolutely I'm excited to learn more about flowers as food
I love your gardens, huge plants. Thanks for sharing your love of marigolds and how to use them
Marigolds are also natural pest reducers. They have essential oils.
I was hoping she would address the pest issue. Is this true; what pests do they repel? Do they stop little mammals from eating one’s garden?
@@stephenbeacham9717I know that rabbits do not like marigolds. The smell keeps them away.
