00:02 It's beautiful and healthy
00:04 That's why even in the early days, our grandparents believed in its medicinal properties

00:16 It improves skin and has anti-fungal properties in the digestive tract
00:22 A beautiful plant that you can add to your garden
00:27 Here's how to grow it yourself
00:30 First, we will pick the French Marigold seeds from the flower
00:40 When it's dry, we will put it in a seedling tray
00:45 We will put a bottle of French Marigold seeds in each hole
00:53 We can buy it online or from agricultural supplies
01:03 We will cover the seeds with a little bit of soil
01:07 To protect it from the sun and insects
01:19 After 2 weeks, the seeds are ready to be transferred to the pots

02:03 After a month, the French Marigold is ready to be transferred to the field
02:07 We will dig the soil, because the soil is soft, we can use our hands
02:13 If it's hard, we can use a stick or other gardening tools
02:16 We will take the plant, put it in the hole, and cover it
02:29 If we see that the plant is not enough water, we will water it
02:36 We will not water the plant or the tree
02:42 We will not start from the top, but around the plant
02:47 After 60 days, the French Marigold will bloom
02:53 You can now eat it
02:57 This edible flower can live for 3 weeks to 1 month
