I’m trying a new approach in my garden this year. Here it is, all I want to do is attract wild bees. Anything that is going to bring me closer to that goal I’m interested in. So I’m thinking flowers, flowering flowers everywhere.

I do have some veggies in containers, but this year I want wild bees. To make it a bit more permanent I’m planting bulbs that like full sun. I love flowers and all the colors and fragrance. It makes it very pleasant to sit outside and hopefully will help my vegetables too.

I also planted two purple wisteria and a jasmine that will cover a little archway leading into the courtyard all for the wild bees. I didn’t want to forget the butterflies so I planted milkweed for the Monarchs. I know once they lay their eggs on the bush they will come back every year

Instead of focusing on growing vegetables which has not worked out too well for me, I have to look at it a different way, hopefully the end result will be more veggies. If not the yard will look good so no loss.

Goats love to climb, but this baby goat we named William can’t make it to the top of his goat house, but he doesn’t give up.
