Let the Season Begin! (sort of)

Just a reminder that January is a prime time to place orders for seeds and plants for our summer gardens!!

What is everyone growing this year? We have hopes of growing:

broccoli
lettuce (head & leaf)
carrots
beans
collards
banana peppers
jalepeno peppers
sweet peppers
onions
cucumber
melons
spinach
beets
and maybe corn and asparagus depending on how much room we have.


my question is: does anyone have any resources about plants that encourage the presence of bees?
