Poppies are so delicate, yet so tenacious. Yesterday, I noticed these little guys poking up through heavy gravel near the street. They receive only natural rainfall. They receive only the nutrients found in the local soil. Yet they grow and blossom. Perhaps we'll figure out a way to nourish them and allow them to extend their territory a bit more. The space along the west side of the driveway would benefit from the color.
We are trying to encourage flower growth in our surroundings in the hope that this will help support bee populations.
Angel and I have even discussed teaming up with a bee keeper to see if s/he might want to put some hives out on the northeast side of our property. It is sheltered there and likely a good place for bees. We would give the beekeeper access to the property in return for a small share of the honey. I do not know if this would be of interest, and I probably would not take this step until such a time that it became feasible to fence the entire property.
Another time / another post.
