I have a red single rose in particular they love. It popped it's first one flower a couple of days ago. Everything is looking good and healthy and I am starting to get impatient waiting for the best part. A nice good soaking light rain started during the night and will last all day. Not too cold either, we just need some sun.Shaynacwingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725923296007124724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228336367477494000.post-20710300760049545422012-10-12T10:59:44.471+02:002012-10-12T10:59:44.471+02:00I never knew the bee was in trouble.... most of m...I never knew the bee was in trouble.... most of my garden is yellow and red <-- red for the hummers..... if bees leave me alone then all is fine....

I am off to the local nursery for the specials this week.

I have a contact, The Beeman for relocating when I find a hive or they start swarming, too close to the house.

REmember the hive I found in my garden and they all died. It was heart breaking , I could see they were ill, such a small colony that might have gotten lost, but the queen was with them, so I thought I could save them by giving them a safe home close to a food source. They lasted 2 days. I sobbed when I saw them slowly one by one give up.

That is why I have and still am in the process of changing what I am growing. Have never been one for annuals or deciduous, always evergreen flowering shrubs and veggies. It is also another reason why my garden is looking a bit bare. It is still too cold to plant much in the garden but the seedlings are getting bigger. Feeling positive here as the sun is actually shining today. lolShaynacwingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725923296007124724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228336367477494000.post-6620478874725031432012-10-11T23:01:29.000+02:002012-10-11T23:01:29.000+02:00a good reminder..for next year!a good reminder..for next year!Amalie von Bergenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944378875305555329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228336367477494000.post-53141870961541287432012-10-11T20:33:28.405+02:002012-10-11T20:33:28.405+02:00Hey you crazy Dane.
