Plants and critters

Virginia Co-operative Extension free advice about plants and “critters” on your property.  My personal experience is asking about bees in my house’s overhang.  The state office put me in touch with a beekeeper.  After I described the bees he reassured me they were not the kind who were interested in stinging folks.  Years ago my elderly mom sat outside for hours daily – never got a sting.

Virginia Native Plant Society will have a plant sale on May 14 in the Botanical Garden off Centerville Road.  I plan to get better educated about what to plant in my yard.  But not everyone has the bold “critters” (as my husband refers to them) stomping and eating through it.
