 [COLOR=green] I always pinch my bloom's until fall. It wouldn't hurt to cut them back a bit too. Are you planning on drying some of them. I esp pinch my mints before they go to seed. The bee's love them and other good insects so I try to leave them fer a while. The plants get interpollinated and usually what ye get from seeds are now worth much of anything taste or smell wise.

Oh yeah! The bees are lovin my garden right now! So fat and slow I even managed to snap a few pictures. Last week they were inside a low hanging magnolia flower...this one little bee was soooo packed full of pollen I didn't know how he was going to fly home lol! It so interesting to watch them. They would pull off the stamins and then roll in the fallen pollen. It was a Young Frankenstein moment....roll, roll, roll in the hay lol! Dora/Garden Goddess |
