Is anyone bringing Guinea keats?

Yes, I'll take the lemon balm, chard, dill & rosemary. Ok - I'll know better in a week or so, also, depending on if I get to plant mine, as I have plenty of seeds, but haven't started any yet. --- I might have a few extra perennial flowers I could bring - if anyone is interested, then I'll dig some up: "Sunchokes" - they get really tall, multiply quickly, easy to grow & are beautiful late summer flower. They're a "tuber" - I think they're the wild version of Jerusalem artichokes. $3 per pot - with a 6+ tubers in each pot

​

Japanese Iris - beautiful, tough, hardy perennial I haven't dug any up yet, but they'd be good-sized plants. $3 per pot

​

Evening Primrose - small, but hardy, prolific plant; wilts when transplanted, but almost always survives, as very tough. $2 per pot - small roots, so can fit quite a few in a pot.

Oh, they're all used to full-sun, but will grow just about anywhere!

would like those that are good for bees.

would like those that are good for bees.

From what I've seen bees love evening primrose, New England Asters, bee balm (of course

) - might a little of those too.

I'm not sure about the sunchokes or the irises, though they do visit them, they're not "buzzing" like the other flowers.

I used to have a "false sunflower", double-flowered yellow, very tall and they'd be full of bees, bumblebees, wasps, etc.

I like to plant flowers around the yard to feed the beeses.

The lemon balm is in a 6" pot - $2 well started; chard plants are in those little plastic 6pack pots - $1 - should be well started; dill 4 plants in a 4" pot - $1 will be well started; rosemary 3" pot - $2 - well started; strawberries are Honeyoye variety, each in a 4" pot - $2.

I would like a 6 pack of chard if you still have it available

I have Comfrey , 2 comfrey plants 5.00 ...have to see if the coreopsis is coming up this year ..

 

[myfivegirls]

Quote: Thanks! I'll take the comfrey.
Perhaps the coreopsis will still come up, as the perennial bed is just starting to "wake up",
but I transplanted a lot of it when we moved, but perhaps the stress of moving then a really hard winter took its toll.
