Maybe I need to get one of those. Does it hold bees? I haven't any bees to pollinate my veggies.

Marmee, I love all of your flowers (especially the Columbine). Your little fenced in garden is so cute. Can't wait to see what grows!!!!

Hey Marmee,
And me thinks if you want one it might already be(e) on its way???? It would make a lovely and perfect addition to your potager. Gardens are perfect for a little whimsy added and you have plenty of room in yours for such things.
hugs, Meems

marmee said...

gail,

i was sure my gardening friends would love this so hope you do bring one home.

marmee said...

lola,

i am thinking it is more decorative than functional but you could pose the question to the website and see what they say.

marmee said...

lisa,

Hi Marmee, I love your photos and Susan Branch's garden is one of my favorites. Ah, if we could all have a bee skep, wouldn't life be grand? I hope you get one.~~Dee
