A sea of marigolds

About this memory
#unearthed
Instead of my usual lawn, this year I dug a patch in my garden and planted wildflowers and marigolds. The slugs ate most of the wildflowers so I’ve been left with a sea of yellow and orange marigolds, which brighten up my day and keep the bees happy!
