Be sure to plant as many butterfly friendly plants as you can too! They are having such a hard time surviving and are so important to our environment. I just planted an acre Butterfly field up here in TN and hope to have bees down there next year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16730120216392814248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-48303437804967719702015-04-14T18:22:30.216-05:002015-04-14T18:22:30.216-05:00How will you be able not to mow?
