This is really bleak. Know I’m just singing back to the choir here but what are you guys planting for the pollinators this year?
This one is new for me, sneezeweed, Helenium amarum. They’ve already sprouted in their outdoor cold-strat containers.
Also transplanted year old loebelia siphilitica seedlings to the ground yesterday.
@jblue I'm adding marigolds this year.
I also plan to scatter extra dill seeds around in some patchy spots in my yard, and let them take off if they want. I always plant dill in my herb garden, and the butterflies (swallowtails especially) love it. I want more of those!
We have some native vine milkweed that's trying to take over a holly bush (that bush is another good pollinator here; the bees love it). I've been letting them battle it out and enjoying seeing who's at it each day.
@effika you should take a multi-year time lapse video of the battle and set it to “ride of the Valkyries.”
