Top ten bee plants
This week's hot topic is vineyards and if all goes to plan Joe is hoping to have a fully operational Chateau de Greenacre in the autumn!
Another hot topic is the fast approaching British summer. We're all hoping for a long overdue dose of sunshine - with a moderate amount of rain - especially to get those Dig In vegetables growing. How is everyone getting on? My shoots seem to be growing very rapidly!
On tonight's programme the team will be creating a bee's paradise with a border full of the top bee plants. So to save you jotting it down, here's a list of the top ten bee plants
- 1 Agastache
- 2 Ajuga, Bugle
- 3 Cirsium rivulare 'Atropurpureum'
- 4 Echium
- 5 Echinops, Globe thistle
- 6 Erysimum 'Bowles's Mauve', Perennial wallflower
- 7 Monarda, Beebalm
- 8 Sedum
- 9 Tanacetum coccineum, Pyrethrum
- 10 Verbena bonariensis
