Great suggestions , Carol and really interesting to hear about the overwintering places used by bees.

I was particularly happy to learn that landscape fabric (which I never use) is indeed a really bad thing to put down. Now when I rant about it, I can give people a concrete reason not to use it.

My garden is packed with pollinator pleasers this year and the bees are very happy about it. The two most popular flowers are Boneset and Japanese Anenome, with Russian Sage and Catmint in third and fourth place.
