I've had problems with marigolds for the past two or three years.
Probably a different issue than what Ellie describes. In my case, I've
planted marigolds in pots in full sun for years and up until the past
2-3 years, they have done fine. The last few years when the hot part
of summer hits and we get our usual week or two of temps above 100 F,
the marigolds just fry and die.
Previously, I had no problems with marigolds in full sun and they
seemed to tolerate the heat just fine. Until recently, I thought
marigolds were tough as nails! Some of my friends & neighbors complain
of similar problems. This is just bizarre!
Any ideas on what might be happening?
Thanks,
Gary
