I bet our gardens look similar. BTW, I finally got my letter up.~~DeeDee @ Red Dirt Ramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-5449336864585783292010-08-24T22:00:33.051-04:002010-08-24T22:00:33.051-04:00Pray for rain in Montreal as well!

Right now it is in a holding bed in the vegetable garden, waiting for the garden design to get going again so it can move to a new home. If it just attracts bees, I think it would be okay by a path, but if I see black wasps around it, I'm going to put it someplace a little "off the beaten path". Thanks for the warning.Carol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-17349555853100450632010-08-23T21:29:21.172-04:002010-08-23T21:29:21.172-04:00Carol, I had to get rid of Calamintha because it h...Carol, I had to get rid of Calamintha because it had so many balck wasps encircling it. It was on a pathway recommended by my garden designer!<br /><br />I brought it up to Wisconsin where it did not make it. <br /><br />I have a small up close garden, so this is something to take into consideration when making a plan.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.com
