Bees

I have wanted to keep bees for a long time. It would make sense with my large vegetable garden to have them for pollination.
Plus with all the news of CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder), more bees could be beneficial.
So this past winter I attended 'Bee School" in Rhode Island. Then on Easter Weekend I picked up my nuc of bees. Put them in their hive and have been watching them since.

Luffa

My luffa seeds got started about 6 weeks ago and are now forming their secondary leaves. Even though the days are getting warmer the soil needs to be warmer before I feel comfortable transplanting them.
