I already had one 2 1/2 gallon pail with one marigold plant in the center of the pail. I decided to add four more marigolds to that one pail. Two of one color and two of the other color. Wanted to set the pail up with a lot of bloom to have ready for the one hook on the shepherds pole in the front yard that contains a viola plant that I expect to die off after this bloom.

The remaining eight plants I took and planted in the four wooden containers containing the tomato plants. Two plants in each container.

I also read awhile ago about planting flowers in the vegetable garden for pest control. I looked up marigolds this morning and found this article.
