RE: First Garden Post of the Year!

in HiveGarden2 years ago

You have a book on flowers for honeybees???? Just plant flowers and let things go to seed. Borage and comfrey, fennel, everything. Job done. Send money to my wallet and I'll make some other expertise on flowers and bees up.

Love your response - despite not being home, and adding pictures that look like they've been designed by one of the Mario Brothers circa 1980, your reflection and my inability to meet my own deadlines too means this is an absolutely qualifiable entry.

Oregano, man, it's EVERYWHERE! Try oregano pesto as well, that's goooooddd.

Marigolds, besides having ladybug-friendly blossoms, also attract root pests so it is not advised to have them in your bed, I've heard.

Oh really!!! I thought they were good for nematodes, maybe as they attract them to thier own root system and away from others? Just chuck seeds in where you want thema nd they'll grow like billy-o.

The 2 varieties of wild ramps are perfectly at home in their simulated forest floor environment. I want them to multiply!

Sooo jelly!

Gardening for bees is that easy?? Who'd've thought...
The book was a thoughtful gift, either way!
You like my artwork, huh? Haha. I was partially pleased with how the strawberries and goji berries came out.
I want to try my luck with some wild Mexican marigolds I found on my last trip (also very popular with the bees). Can't wait to try it because when has intriguing a wild species to my garden every gone wrong?! Er...

And did you say oregano pesto? That sounds delicious! I'm adding that to my list!
