      That’s why some of us try to grow a pollinator garden. I’m not quite there yet because the property I bought was all paved in concrete, but I’m getting there. So many types of bees. It’s beautiful to see. And others like butterflies are coming now, too.

        I got “weeds” growing in my driveway. I told my landlord (dad) to not touch the decent flowering ones because it helps the bees. They arent blooming anymore but they had blue and purple flowers.

        I dunno about growing a pollinator garden but we’re just lazy and don’t garden much at all and that seems to do the trick lmao.

          the great thing about pollinator gardens is that they are always trying to grow, and you just have to let them do so

          Just need to get those native plants growing and they can usually take care of themselves.

        We’ve had success this year with grow bags. 8ft (2.5m) tomato plants producing faster than we can eat them
