#feedabee

A while back I went online to google some rad places to get rad freebies and samples in the mail  (I really like getting mail, not even ashamed), and I came across the website for FeedABee (http://feedabee.com/). Their whole goal is to, well, feed bees. I thought it was pretty cool, plus they will send you a free packet of assorted wildflower seeds, that apparently bees love. 
So, being that it was free I hopped on that real fast. Who doesn't love free flowers? 

Here's how it goes down:

  • Step 1: go to http://feedabee.com/ and request your free seed packet.
  • Step 2: when said seed packet arrives, plant them and snap a photo with #feedabee.
  • Step 3: water and love them until they bloom.
  • Step 4: snap more photos of the lovely flowers, and feel good that you helped save the bees.
That's it. That's how you do it. 
I decided to keep a little update of my flowers going because I have no idea what they'll even look like and it'll be a cool little experiment. 
The packet includes:
Shasta Daisy, Lance-leaf Coreopsis, Plains Coreopsis, Wild Cosmos, Sulphur Cosmos, Purple Coneflower, Dwarf Sunflower Sunspot, Sweet Alyssum, Baby Blue Eyes, Lacy Phacelia, Yellow Prairie Coneflower, Mexican Hat, Black-eyed Susan, African Marigold, Crimson Clover, Zinnia, Bee Balm, California Poppy and Indian Blanket.
Each seed packet contains approx. 200 seeds, which is enough to cover 10 square feet. 
Pretty cool stuff. 


Cute little seed packet. I had the forget-me-nots from before and figured I might as well plant them too.


Day 7:
Visible Sprouts: 15
Buds: 0
Flowers: 0
All the little sprouts so far. I have no clue what is what.

The photos below are not all the sprouts, just the bigger ones.











Stay tuned as I post updates. You're not gonna want to miss this! I mean, maybe you will if you don't like flowers and puppies and cute things. 

Enjoy your day!
