🐝💗Our Backyard Beekeeping Journey!💗🐝

[drstratton]

I was thinking of pulling up the marigolds. I plant them to help keep stink bugs off my tomatoes. I've pulled up all the tomato plants (early; the deer destroyed the 'mater patch), so I don't need the marigolds. They're still blooming, so I'll leave them in case the bees get interested.

They kind of took over the Portulaca's. We got them for free at Fred Meyer, they were very wilted, but they came back, we brought home 3 flats. It was a great find.

Marigolds and Portulaca's , I plant both those type from seed. Although this year I missed Portulaca's. The marigold variety that I like is the LARGE Crackerjack. It is still blooming well at this time of season. Some of my other flowers already called it quits, even though we did not have a frost yet.
