Moving to WAshington has been like paradise for me. I didn't see one bumblebee in the 16 years I lived in Texas. Bumblebees love Dahlias and so I've got quite a few- still need more. There are a lot of hummingbirds here, night moths, and different kinds of bees. I haven't seen any bats, but they're here.

I'm conscious of planting for pollinators- I plant native PLUS flowers I love- so I have to grow extra since I'm not a native purist like my neighbors. 😎

This is my pollinator garden. I chose several packets of seeds and planted them last spring in March. Catch 22 the seeds don't germinate until the soil temp reaches around 70 degrees. However, we kept having very low temps until end of May. My seeds did not start sprouting until end of June. Flowers came in August. Then in Sept the Cosmos started to grow very tall. The tallest reached 7'- got blown over. The trunk is almost 2" in diameter!

So this year, I'm going to wait till a couple of frosts happen and then spread the seeds on top of the ground. Hopefully they'll germinate faster on the surface at the right time for Spring.

Fingers crossed.

I've NEVER had Cosmos on plants this big. There are different sizes- but these are GIANTS.

@mims Love it!! I'm seriously space-challenged so I just can't. Sadly. I have about 8 hardbound books on my shelf to read, and I go through them pretty quickyl But even then, that's my physical limit. Sad compared from the days I lived in a 3 bedroom house with floor-to-ceiling shelves. 😢

@mims I really can't because I don't have space for every book I want to buy! 😔

@mims Lady Gaga is a great singer but not an actress

I watched her in A Star is Born, the Shallow scene was awesome and I loved Bradley otherwise not a good film
