In early spring wildflowers start to bloom like crazy, but it’s a good idea to help out the hummingbirds and honey bees by planting heirloom flowers now so you can have blooms lasting late spring until summer.

Sunflowers serve double-duty in the garden, the bees get the nectar and the birds (and you) get the seeds after the flowers finish blooming.

morning glories are a multi-tasker to, hummingbirds love them and the flowers act as a repellent for squash bugs.
