But if it comes to lawns, i prefer 'em to be covered with clover. looks joyful and its fine scent is spreading all around. <br />Never understand, why civilization should always be eco-dangerous?! :(<br />I admire you always doing your bits for a better ecology, it matters!

I have patches here and there in the yard and I've noticed that the clover stay green right next to the grass that can be withered and brown. I'm starting another large patch in the front lawn. My neighbors ask me what I'm doing. lol<br />You were fortunate to grow up without lawns. They are a pain to keep up. My son planted some kind of mixture in his new yard and I love the look of it. No mowing and very little watering.

I love bee balm flowers (or Monardo sp.) and that really does attract the bees too. Cody is so funny. She will sit in front of a plant for absolutely hours, very intent on watching the bees and then tries to bite them. I've never known that she has been stung. I guess they can't get through her fur.

I applaud you for thumbing your nose at the manicured lawn. I get out that little tool and actually dig my dandelions. No one does that. I can remember when I was young, it was a fun, family thing to do. Also the City would set aside certain days for the kids to dig dandelions in the public parks for free hot dogs and soda. The parks would be swarming with kids and it saved the city money. I'd like to see the vacant response to something like that now.... <br />kids would laugh at the idea. I'm remembering how much fun it was ....or would I have rather been sitting home playing video games. (I mean......even if there had been video games.....hahahahah).<br /><br />I hadn't heard that about the bee population but yeah for that. They say, mankind will die 3 years after the bees are gone.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-30818458142023806082015-08-02T08:17:56.942-07:002015-08-02T08:17:56.942-07:00Holy Ghost
