@MeganB Whoa- that is an abundance of bees you have there in Florida! The first article looks like a very handy one for anyone who wants to attract more buzzy friends into their garden- since you have a wildflower mix, it’s probably safe to bet that you’ll have at least a few of the plants on this list!
May there be many happy (and friendly!) bees coming to visit you soon to pollinate your plants!
@lisa67 I’m not an expert with feverfew (maybe @Mistress_Of_Herbs has some ideas? She has so many great herbal recipes she’s shared!) but lemonbalm and mint both make fabulous decorations when they are sugared- both are super tasty and beautiful on cookies/cakes/pastries! Both can also be dried and used in tea blends- lemon balm is one of my favorite relaxing teas- my herbalist teacher calls it the “herb that gladens the heart”. It’s great for fending off the winter blues in the cold months.
I hope you can find some wonderful ways to enjoy your garden’s bounty, Lisa- good luck and have fun (and feel free to keep us updated- I’d love to hear what you do with them!)
@Isabella13 I feel you about the love/hate relationship with summer- the gardens are loaded with goodies, but it feels too hot and humid to be able to be out there enjoying them And whoa, you already have elderberries!?! I’ll have to check our small elderflower here- I think it’s just barely flowering right now haha. Sounds like you have some great plans- good luck and happy harvest!
@Ostara You’re welcome, Ostara- happy crafting!
