Why We Grow Heirlooms, Herbs And Natives

Swallowtail in the Bee Balm

Sometimes a picture can tell a story better than words. As I was going through last years photo albums my heart leaped at how far we have come with our garden over the years. This past summer really seemed to tell most of the story.

The Echinasea seemed to be an endless resource for photographing wildlife.

This little Hairstreak Butterfly was only but one of hoards of visitors to the garden. Every tiny little creature counts endless benefits in creating a natural habitat that thrives with not just beauty but health as well.

The delicate process of  nectar from a single flower to its pollinator should always be pure and natural. Nature does not require interference from man. No chemicals or pesticides should ever touch a single living creature or human being. I shall plant you again this spring, beautiful Zinnia and you shall be as true as you are forever more.

Bumbling About In The Sunflowers Crown Of Glory

When you've finished bumbling bee, the squash and the pumpkins await their reward.  No one can do your job better than you.For many varieties of squash require a larger bee to pollinate properly. You will be rewarded with baskets filled to the brim with delicious fresh fruit and vegetables when nature works properly.

May My Grandchildren Always Have A Future!

Of course this is REALLY what it is all about. Preserving a future for our children's children.

Happy Gardening!!
