July 11th: with the UV at 11 today, on the 11th, it’s a Nigel Tufnel Day.

July 6th: Marigolds compared.

Roses may prefer Miracle Gro, but marigolds prefer the organic Better World.

A single marigold remains on the MiracleGro side. 

A nice blossom, but a short lifespan.

On the Better World side, six blooms that just won’t quit.  

Well, they do expire, but so many new ones come in that I don’t notice.
