They flourished and self-seeded and grew like weeds. Now I stick mainly to marigolds and flowering herbs.Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940119240313980400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-36081802257131210312011-01-31T04:14:32.712+11:002011-01-31T04:14:32.712+11:00There is a major lack of bees worldwide so we all ...There is a major lack of bees worldwide so we all need to do everything we can to encourage their survival.

A good compromise for me is to keep growing lots of Marjoram and Oregano. The bees love this more than anything else.<br /><br />I can just picture you poised over that Daisy, waiting for the perfect bee pose before taking the photo. It is a great photo though.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-21940946788180328262011-01-30T15:07:57.956+11:002011-01-30T15:07:57.956+11:00Hazel I have herbs flowering in my vegie garden th...Hazel I have herbs flowering in my vegie garden that attract the bees - parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, comfrey, basil and coriander. <br />I also have some marigolds that are growing beautifully but are a bit slow to flower this year - the bees don't find them attractive but other insects do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-42729900723232626402011-01-30T11:37:06.374+11:002011-01-30T11:37:06.374+11:00Hi Hazel, you have such a beautiful garden!

I hadn't realised how lovely they would look in amongst the vegetables until they started blooming. My humble plantings were quite magnificent, and I have vowed to plant many many more this year.<br /><br />Of course I had forgotten then until your lovely daisy just reminded me!<br /><br />Thanks Hazel.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072118694728610270noreply@blogger.com
