Greeting from MyGardenHome
HI Becky, I signed up and did a post about it last month, I am waiting for the seeds. I got an e-mail today that they are coming. It seems that they were overwhelm with participants. This is a great project; I can’t wait to get started
Apparently the honey bee is in rapid decline in the UK, unless we change the way we are farming nowadays. x
I just love this shot!
Thank you for your visit Becky, I am slowly feeling better :)
I have such a soft spot in my heart for Sunflowers--they were the first plant that I ever grew from seed:) My new garden is definitely having a bed devoted solely to them!
I love this shot with the bee and the reminder you are giving to us. Take care, Andrea
Gorgeous color Becky! I was concerned about the lack of bees in my garden this year and went out armed with cotton swabs prepared to do their work (which I did with my summer squash a few times) until finally I was met with this same sight. At last the bees came!
