I had a lot of work to do yesterday, the carrots and potatoes weren't even the half of it. I had to wrestle the sun herb bed into shape for one. That sage is super overgrown. And the chamomile is no longer viable. Well for me anyways. I had a few cups of chamomile tea … Continue reading Mixed beds and new plants

And luckily the flowers are starting to bloom just in time to give the bees something to eat. This lovely bee house was a gift from an online friend named elsietheeel who sent me this wonderful bee house out of the blue in winter. The edge was slightly damaged but it is perfectly usable.
