This year I am aiming at trying to encourage more bees and other insects into the garden. I seem to have no problem attracting woodlice, aphids and blackfly into the garden last year, so I aim to plant more bee friendly plants in a bid to help their plight. I’d also like to see more ladybirds in the garden too, particularly to help keep that aphid colony down.
The flowers:
- Antirrhinum ‘Chuckles’
- Sweet Pea ‘Cupani’
- Marigold ‘Boy O’ Boy Orange (French)’
The veg:
- Aubergine ‘Black Beauty’
- Courgette ‘Black Beauty’
- Rocket ‘Skyrocket’
The fruit:
- Strawberries
The herbs:
- Welsh Onion
- Applemint
- Rosemary
- Mint
- Thyme
- Caraway
- Chives
- Sage
