Welcome Bees!
We love bees at our house – the nice kind, not the nasty ground bee kind. (We unfortunately have both.)
Scott and I both loved the John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seed catalog but we had already ordered so much from Pinetree that we just stuck with one thing – the Bumblebee Habitat Flower Garden Mix. We have nearly an acre in plain grass that we want to convert to wildlife habitat and food producing and this is going to be a step in that direction.
The mixture includes 21 different varieties (if I counted correctly) of bee favorites. I grow many of these separately but we’re hoping a large plot of them will bring even more pollinators our way. Our biggest challenge will be preparing the soil and avoiding flooding since our property is stream side. We’ll see how we do.
