Much. Dee I lost my bees as well. Bee keeping has been a family tradition for several generations. I did great in Ky but struggling in Indiana. I think it might be time to let let it go. Love you both. You guys are the best.
I usually get a third year out of columbines, but not more. Luckily, they have reseeded very freely and I also started some from seed in Fall 2022, so they should continue in my garden. I have discovered that I don't care for the Black Barlow variety (too dark to show up well and not the bright colors I want this time of year), which has done well in my garden, so will probably pull that out in the next couple of weeks as I don't want those any more.
Hey Melissa, I noticed that dark purple hellebores also don't show up in the shade, and as much as I enjoy them, I don't grow them anymore. It's ok. There's always more to see in the garden world. I bet I put down too much mulch for my columbines to reseed. That's probably at least part of the problem. Thanks for listening!~~Dee
I always laugh and smile
Listening to your podcast. Thanks so
