Perfect!
I have some herb plants already, basil being one. So that's good news.

I went back to the nursery today and they had new batch of hyacinths. Much larger than the previous one I got. So I gathered a bunch so those honeybees have more available. These ones haven't bloomed yet, but they're getting close. Got some blues, purples and whites to go with the pink one I already have. They're still low on selection for right now, so I'll go hunting again in a few weeks. I'll keep an eye out for your suggestions when everyone starts stocking up. Smiling

I appreciate all the help. I've never really been a big "flower grower", so a lot of these will be new for me. Hilarious!
I have lots of Morning Glory seeds too. Not sure if those are a popular bee flower. Hopefully they'll be more successful this year. They ended up becoming a MASSIVE leafy vine last year that engulfed the entire fence. Only got a few flowers.
The dead vines are actually still on the fence right now. Went to tear it down, but there's a ton of ladybugs using it for shelter right now, so I left it alone.

I checked by the park that's being demolished, and the construction workers tossed a huge pile of branches in the side of the gully from the trees they cut down. I think I'm going to go gather some up for the garden. I still want another good sized log, but that first one I brought back was heavy. Good workout though. Hilarious!

Oh! I did get lemon balm seeds for this year too, as you previously recommended.
Слава Україні! Slava Ukraini! Glory to Ukraine!
