my summer plantings are for the bees. with the scorching temps, I'm grateful to get flowers on this urban heat island. it's unlikely the temps will allow pumpkins to fully develop. the squash bees are the few natives in my area that rely entirely on one kind of flower. if any of last year's bee babies made it, I want to be sure there are flowers ready to receive & help the next gen. #gardening #RibbonRefuge
