#cosogardening #flowers #Cosmos
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!
@QueenOfEverything You ROCK!!!
#PollinatorGardens! We ALL need them! 💞💞💞💞
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. 😎
@QueenOfEverything I get it that Texas has it's own kind of beauty. Every single place on earth does. But nothing - NOTHING - is like the PNW!! 💞💞💞
