did you know oregano flowers look this magical in june?

I was checking on my herb patch and nearly tripped over my own feet when I saw my oregano bursting into tiny purple blooms. I always thought oregano was just for pizza, but when it flowers, it turns into a pollinator magnet. Bees were everywhere, buzzing like they owned the place. I let a few stems go wild every year, and it pays off. The flowers make the whole garden look dreamy, and the leaves get extra fragrant. Plus, snipping a few blooms for salads is my new favorite thing. If you’ve only ever used dried oregano, you’re missing out. Fresh, flowering oregano is a whole vibe. Give your herbs a chance to flower. Your garden (and the bees) will thank you. gardening #herbs #oregano #pollinators #nature #gardening #herbs #oregano #pollinators #nature

why did my backyard explode with bees after planting wildflowers?

Last spring, I tossed a handful of wildflower seeds in a corner of my yard, just to see what would happen. A few weeks later, my garden was buzzing—literally. Bees, butterflies, and even a couple of hummingbirds started showing up every day. I never realized how much these little pollinators love a messy patch of flowers. I stopped using any sprays and let some dandelions stick around. Turns out, those "weeds" are like a buffet for bees. Now, every time I see a bee diving into a flower, I feel like I’m helping out in a small way. Plus, my tomatoes and strawberries have never looked better. If you want more pollinators, just let your garden get a little wild. It’s way more fun than a perfect lawn. #gardening #pollinators #bees
