Ah Spring, when both front and back yard have a layer of gold floating above them. I'd like to mimic the look with some reticulated metal and opaque yellow stones...
Yesterday a solitary honey bee ventured into my yard. So sad, only one. Perhaps picking up some glyphosate/2-4-D free pollen in hopes of bolstering his immune system against CCD? (Colony Collapse Dissorder)[link]
36% fewer bees than last year and I can talk only about half of my customers out of buying herbicides/pesticides. Good news though, at least here in BC we will be removing all the 2-4-D/ glyphosate and Carbarlys in Nov. Yup last season for legal sale of those nasties...

Lapi notes:
Tomorrow I'll be cabbing my way through as much of my lump of matrixy turquoise as I can in two hours.

Meanwhile husband, son and the intrepid rockhound Jessy(she only likes round rocks of a certain size, sticks her whole head in the icy water to get 'em) pan for gold in the creek. At least they think it's gold. It's rather angular and streaks brown when rubbed on papar... but they're having fun.
Yours,
'Beebz

Putting a spoiler on a dorky hatchback dosn't make it a sport's car any more than putting spandex on a fat guy makes him a vaulter.

diapearing bees seem to be a running theme in Doctor Who lately...they make a comment about it just about every episode...

Good! No mason bees left this year for sale but can get you some next spring. They're very, very cute! Mine have hatched. Saw a big fuzzy female going into the tubes the other day. Not like honey bees. Short life cycle, more disease resitant, less stingy. More like a mosquito bite. Only when trapped in clothes etc. Gentle pets.

At least plant a small plot, raised bed idea, 5x10 feet grow something easy that you like to eat. Then rotate the plot throughout the season. Potatoes for instance or really easy, strawberries. Plant a couple cherry trees. Blueberry bushes have landscape potential. Check out the cost of organic veggies. You know I grow letuce all winter. That little plot will save you hundreds of dollars:smile:

when you come over have a look at our yard and tell me what you think. I think it has loads of potential.
Oneday in the far off future I'd like to be able to pay a gardener...
