I'm a new beekeeper too.
Collecting a swarm is the most incredible experience and I recommend it!

out what you need and have it ready in the car for when you get…"

It is a new bed, never had strawberries there before, they

- Hello! Thanks for the contact. Some edamame coming your way in the next 48 hours. I have many photos now of my garden and the condition its in. That's the only way I can see it...send someone out with a camera. Oh, boy! After three months of deglect. Still feeding us though. My husband has learned to harvest. I draw the position and description and he seeks and finds. Now venturing on to a single crutch! Hope envelope arrives safely.

- Hello! Yes, that's sounds interesting! Kali has contacted the lady on good morning and she is sending me some of her seed of the Tangerine Gem. I could send some on to you if you wish. Have you tried Painted Lady runner beans. They have a pretty flower and are nicer than scarlet runner. They produce for ages. Nice to contact you!
