We’ve picked scapes 3x so far- yummy add to cooking! Also yummy pickled!
My winter squash has sprouted. No vining or flowers yet. If you want lots of flowers bees love, I highly recommend Borage. It has amazed me how many bees are on those plants! I think you are warmer/more intense sun, so I’d recommend a spot that does not get all day sun or gets very dry -outs seem to do best in the areas with some shade during the day (so the healthiest/biggest ones get full shade bc of the barn after 2pm but full sun before that- but it’s a spot I have to water bc it’s in a bit of a rain shadow from the barn and chicken run roof.
Bees and other pollinators:
WOW! There were 3 different sized flies (assume different types), AND at least 2 kinds of bees attracted to and all over the flowering Thyme!! I was impressed. Teeny tiny flowers, but the pollinators loved it! One bee in the pic!
