I have 7 squash plants that bloom every day. Do I have any squash to cook? Anything to show for all these blooms? Nope, nothing, no fruit just blooms. I have decided that I need bees. We have flowers but no bees. I do not mow until the dandelions make seed(...more for us to mow but more flowers to bring bees to us.) We do not use pesticides. Still, we have no bees.
I started my research this weekend. I need to plant lavender, catmint, sage, cilantro, thyme, fennel and borage...all herbs that Henry will use to make his mealtime dishes taste better. I also need crocus to get them coming early in the spring, buttercup, asters, hollyhocks (does anyone plant hollyhocks anymore?) anemon...
