Re: pollinators?
Margaret,
I have all of the Unbelliferae mentioned thats the rub .....I watch those that are
out (collective lot ; bees,hover flies,wasps,etc.)and thats exactly where they
are, in PREFERENCE to the squash/melon blossoms that go begging..Darn 'em anyway..
Anybody got suggestions how to lure them over to the vine area?Someone once
suggested honey placed around the vines..Tried but failed to see improvement
..They just came when they were good and ready,and not before.
But I'd be willing to try any ideas given.
Thanks Margaret AND Olin for your help.
