Talking about seeds...I have 2 packages of sunflower seeds to start when the weather is nicer.

I love Spring! It's so nice to finally start planning for it.

I still have sunflowers that need to be pulled/dug out from last year. Then I can plant some new ones.

One of my favorite flowers This year I'm going to try the shorter ones, these should only be about 2' tall...I'm excited to see how they do.

I know you have big plans for planting this year because of the bees, right? Hope you'll share pictures of what you do.

They will, I have complete faith in you!

Thank you Debby! We never do anything by halves...lol. We need to replace all of trees hubs cut down in the treeline. Most of these will go in there.
