@@marilyngriffin8737 Great job Marilyn! People don't realize how wonderful Michigan soil is; plant it and it will grow. In many parts of th country the soil is sand or clay and needs to be amended, which is costly. That's not an issue in most of Michigan. Have you started a seed exchange? Toledo has a great seed swap, but so many people in the city can't get there. Griffin Gardens is a gift to the city and so are you!

It feels so good to watch US-citizen being kind, loving, doing positive things, being intelligent and educated, having goals including the community. There are too many channels reporting only all the crimes, shootings, the awful White House, the crimes of the politicians, and MIC, Pentagon. Thank you for this introduction to this little paradise.

Saving bees is a great thing they are very important in the production of food. When I move into my property in Minnesota, out in the middle of nowhere, I could only find a mother bumble bee and her daughter. Now in fall when they go to where I planted their favorite fall flowering plant, you can see more than 100. Also honey bees that are native to Europe.
