    Bekkie, those salvia seeds you sent me a couple  of weeks ago are all  up.

     Justin, The best flowers I had for bees were the Cerinthe, the borage and the scabious all extremely easy to grow in the Spring. The scabious were also covered in butterflys.

     

     

    I am definitely sorting your branches tomorrow, I have had such a week of it but promise to do it.h

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor. 

  • What branches Lyn? image, sorry you have had a mad week! I read your post on the other thread, did make me smile tho, you should write a book! image

    Justin - I may have some echinacea seeds coming up. The flower heads need to go just a bit blacker I think,never harvested seeds from them before.

  • Justin, you could always try phacelia tanetifolia for bees, they are very fond of it here! image
  • Glad those seeds are doing well Lyn, got to say its one of my favorites image
  • The Phacelia look beautiful, will be on the lookout for those image
  • Thanks Fishy, keep me posted!
