Marigold (Calendula).

Marigold is not only beautiful on the outside but also on the inside. It is often used in ointments for skin problems such as eczema, rashes and psoriasis. You can make tea from the petals (actually anything from a plant). Good for your stomach and intestines. Marigold is an old traditional annual plant and grows well in various soil types and produces beautiful seed heads in the autumn.

Sow

You can sow in spring and autumn in the ground or in a pot or container. If you sow in March or April, you will have flowers in June. In September or October you will already have flowers in May. You only have to sow once and you are guaranteed marigolds in your garden every year! You also attract more insects with this plant, so there is a greater chance of fertilization of your fruit crops.

Sow at the front of your garden because marigolds grow to a height of about 30 cm. Sprinkle a small layer of soil over the small seeds and thin out later if necessary. Marigold can be in the sun but also in partial shade.

Gold Dye

You can also use marigold to color your rice or soup instead of saffron, for example. Add a small handful of petals when cooking. You can also dye a white garment this way. Fun to try out.

Marigold ointment for the skin

You can use coconut oil as a base or a combination with, for example, almond oil. A glass jar (with lid) of 200 or 300 ml. Fill the jar 1/3 or 2/3 full with dried petals. Melt the oil in a bowl in a bain-marie (as much oil as fits in the jar) and add the petals to the oil. Let it steep for an hour. Pour it into the pot and then let it cool completely. Store in a dark place for two to six weeks. Heat the oil and strain out the petals. Voila! It's that simple to make your own ointment.
