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.

Ask and you shall receive... :D

Here's what we bought. Everything will go into pots for now, then we'll start putting them in the ground.

Shrubs:
5 Flowering almonds (Sharing at least one with my sister in law)
2 Yellow Witch Hazel
1 Pyracomeles
1 Scarlet Firethorn (Pyracantha)
1 Red Pussy Willow

Trees:
1 Chaste Tree
1 Hybrid Horse Chestnut Tree
5 Sourwood Trees
1 Mtn Ash Tree
4 Japanese Pagoda Trees
1 Seven Son Flower Tree
2 Pink Dogwood Trees
1 Red Sunset Maple Tree
1 Autumn Blaze Maple Tree
2 Purple Robe Locust Trees
2 Pecan Trees (no benefit to bees)

Flowers;
2 Bubblegum Milkweed plants (threw this in with one of the tree orders)
And lots of flower seeds

Everything will slowly be delivered over the next few weeks, most will probably go into pots when they arrive.

Just received these yesterday.
Hybrid Horse Chestnut & 4 Sourwood (3+1 extra) trees, we also have 2 more, larger Sourwood trees coming from a different nursery.
The start of our Bee tree nursery...lol

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.
