Bumblebee Delight
by Judith
The bumblebees love this herb! They are on it from dawn til dusk! The plants took their time getting started but once they began to bloom it has been non-stop all summer. The plants tipped a bit when we had heavy rain but with a bit of help they are again standing tall and blooming like mad. The color is outstanding with gold calendula. So pretty.
