Your refuge and more importantly your attitude towards honeybees is a wonderful model for beeing bee friendly. We have hives at the monastery in Bristow and other members in Bristow area. <br />Hope to see you at the Prince William Farm Tour this September!

I wish it would rain for about a week! Last month I started saving my cooking water from corn, pasta, etc and having been using it to help water the plants. I don't salt the water and the plants must love the extra starch because they always look better than when watered with plain water! Hooray!Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-29242784313584803882010-07-07T07:50:12.354-04:002010-07-07T07:50:12.354-04:00What a nice blog and beautiful gardens!

That way everyone is happy. <br /><br />It's hot and dry here too. Thankfully I have abundant grass clippings for mulching. It helps conserve water and with a well, one must not tax the water table too much.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-75646986887489417272010-07-05T10:13:20.226-04:002010-07-05T10:13:20.226-04:00Thanks so much!!

My ants are small black ones that appear way too organized and disciplined for my liking!! I just finished mulching that section garden (I'm way behind this year!), which I'm hoping will collapse their evil takeover of my helenium. As soon as I can convince my foster dogs that it's okay to go outside for more than ten seconds, I'l take their pix and add it to the blog!Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-88747321198303814942010-07-04T23:11:15.303-04:002010-07-04T23:11:15.303-04:00You have a great blog.
