Spring Checklists: A Thing So Normal and Nice in Minnesota!
In these unsettled times, today’s photograph of a typical spring occurrence is cause for giddy and grateful happiness. The plant staging areas in each of our branches are full of spring color. Bees hungry from winter dormancy, are emerging and finding these concentrations of flowers as well as native spring flowers, fall planted bulbs and yes, dandelions, as their first sources of nectar after a nasty mid-April snow and cold snap. Get a lawn chair out in the driveway this week, pour a cuppa hot coffee and read more about Minnesota bees at https://www.beelab.umn.edu/ and Minnesota native plants at https://extension.umn.edu/find-plants/native-plants
It’s time to dig so we thought we would show you what is on the spring checklist for our wonderful customers.
