Bee garden planting 2011
New plants today:
Salvia nemorosa ('May Night' Meadow Sage)
Lavandula angustifolia ('Violet Intrigue' English Lavender)
Echinacea purpurea ('Ruby Star' Purple Coneflower)
Eryngium something ('something' Sea Holly)
It was a nice day today, and I also trimmed a couple of box hebes, pruned the California lilac (ceanothus), pulled weeds, and generally did enough to make my shoulder muscles sore. It's been a chilly spring, so things are getting off to a late start. The nursery had a Spanish lavender that I also coveted, and I think I know where it could go now. Bees like lavender, oh yes they do.
