Why should we help the pollinators?
1. Because 1 out of every 3 bites we eat is there because of pollinators.

2. Pollinators add 217 billion dollars to the global economy, and honey bees alone are responsible for between 1.2 and 5.4 billion dollars in agricultural productivity.

3. Pollinators support healthy ecosystems that clean the air, stabilize soils, protect from severe weather, and support other wildlife.

I stopped to smell the flowers and found myself surrounded by Squash Blossoms. Did you know that there are male and female squash blossoms?

Whether it’s the summer varieties such as zucchini squash, crook neck squash, and straight yellow squash or winter types like butternut squash, spaghetti squash, and acorn squash, all squash have one thing in common.

There’s a male squash blossom and a female squash blossom, and without at least one of each and a few busy bees, you won’t be eating any squash.

It’s a good idea to fill your hummingbird feeder

It’s a good idea to fill your hummingbird feeders with only as much food as the birds are likely to consume in a day or so, as the nectar quickly spoils and can even ferment when it’s warm.

But even if the feeder isn’t empty, don’t go longer than two days in hot weather and five days when it’s cool before dumping out remaining nectar and cleaning the feeder thoroughly.

Your feathered friends will thank you for protecting their health by keeping their feeder clean.

Are you ready to start a garden but the thought of wedding the garden every day has you running for the hills? We were exactly the same way!! Until we discovered landscape fabric.

Pinching can be used to increase yield and to prol

Pinching can be used to increase yield and to prolong bloom.

To do this, you simply cut the top of the growing stem off above a set of leaves, which encourages the plant to grow bushier. And leads to more flowers.

To get specific details on pinching each variety of plants (some plants, like peonies should NOT be pinched as you'll lose the flower), google is your friend. You don't want to accidentally ruin your whole plant.

I love making the garden my own by adding "decor".

Some signs here. A wind chime there. Maybe a garden gnome. lol By decorating the garden I am making it one of my favorite places.

As it become my favorite place I want to spend more time there. As I spend more time in the garden my flowers and veggies grow and thrive. Making for an abundant harvest.

I encourage you to decorate your garden!! Let me know in the comments what you are going to add to your garden.

The garden should reflect the gardener.

You do not have to plant in perfect row if you prefer the wild rambling garden. And you don't have to have a hodgepodge of plants if you like neat and tidy rows.

Really consider what you enjoy when you look at a garden and plant a garden that INSPIRES YOU!!

Let me know in the comments are you "neat and tidy" or "wild and rambling".

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing and strong women who raised me and continue to support me and my family. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you. 🥰 @ron.nancymartin @dinakowalyshyn @judylahocki
