Been soooo busy. We had to order another 10yards of bark mulch 20 yards total!

I've noticed most of the local garden centers are sold out of quite a few items.
Especially proven winner's annuals -- I can't find Supertunia Vistas, 'reg' supertunias are slim pickings,
'graceful grasses' Vertigo sold out, purple fountain grass - sold out. I guess it's a good thing for garden centers, but I soooo want my Supertunias.

I start my own vegetable seeds so that's been a saving grace as the garden centers are pretty much sold out.

As for the bees, May 14th we had our first swarm ever. We actually did pretty well 'capturing' the swarm - even managed to locate the queen (we think there may have been multiple queens, but only found one). We got four 5 frame nucs from this swarm. Not bad for first timers.
