French Summer, originally uploaded by ParsecTraveller.
Red-hot marigolds in a garden at a countryside home in the Dauphiné region.
The marigolds in France are amazing - they grow to be bushes 3 feet tall, the largest I've ever seen. Maybe it's the soil, maybe it's the weather, but the gardens in France grow lush and healthy. There are vegetable gardens, or potagers, in the yards of many of the old homes.
Have any of you grown marigolds that just get huge? Most of the marigolds around here are piddly little dwarves...
