Podcast Episode #6: How to Attract Native Bees to Your Garden

What’s all the buzz about native bees and how are they different from honeybees? In this podcast, I’ll visit with my special guest, Kara Carleton, Coordinator of the Idaho Master Gardener’s program and native bee enthusiast, and discuss why native bees are so important in our gardens and what you can do to bring more of these hard-working, yet docile insects into your landscape.

Yay! Welcome the first cherry tomatoes of the season: Raspberry Burst. I'm growing three plants and all are loaded with friut. Compact plants (about 24 inches tall) have round pinkish fruit with faint stripes and bits of anthocyanin blue coloring. These are unique with a flavor that's a little sweet, a little tangy. Summer yummies!#thecoeurdalenecoop #firsttomato #raspberryburst #organictomatoes #homegrowntomatoes ... See MoreSee Less
