Tagetes is one of the plants that we have in abundance in our garden.
Early in the spring, I plant seeds in a pot and from the seedlings that sprout, I plant in the beds with tomatoes and cabbage crops.
The plant is unpretentious and grows in large tufts in beautiful and bright colors.
We have it in the greenhouse between the tomatoes, in the beds between the cabbage and between the kale.
In addition to attracting beneficial insects, the flower also repels harmful ones with its specific smell. It is also known to help reduce nematodes in the soil.
In addition to its beneficial properties in the garden and its beautiful presence in the beds, tagetes is also a useful herb.
Some of its beneficial properties are: - Hemostatic; - Anthelmintic; - Aromatizing; - Diuretic; - Sedative; - Tonic for the digestive system.
Therefore, when the plant is in full bloom, I collect the most beautiful and preserved flowers and dry them in the air and in the shade.
Thank you for stopping by!
