| We had good success with this Calendula. They grew quicklly and bloomed througout the season - there are still a few blooms and buds in November! We did deadhead them and I think that helped them with continuous blooming. Though edible, we didn\'t taste the flowers so I did not rate taste. |

| Seeds planted on 5/8, germinated 5/13. From 6/5 to 7/10, 6 plants growing well; very beautiful and abundant flowers. On 8/10, we began deadheading spent blossoms. We saved some seeds and tried germinating at home - none germinated. 8/24: 6 plants all going to seed, deadheading continued. We will try refrigerating seeds and germinating again. 9/15: 5 plants still with beautiful blooms. This is not our final evaluation for the season. Final entry: 11/24. |
