In amongst the garlic mulch today, found this bee struggling to get up off the ground with his little saddlebags overflowing with pollen. Pollen can account for 30% of a bee’s weight! This little guy flew off eventually. What a trooper 💪🏼 🐝 #bees #beneficialinsects #beesinthegarlicpatch
This week’s winner weed is Arctotheca calendula or Capeweed or Cape Dandelion. It has a determined little bastard of a taproot but no stem. This means it lies flat across the ground and effectively outmaneuvers any other competition. Capeweed can survive periods of drought better than most. It proliferates over Autumn and Winter, flowers in late Winter/Spring and then as a little bonus gift, dies off in the hot months, leaving you with bare soil that dries and bakes in the scorching Central Victoria Summer. So an all-year round winner, really. #weeds #capeweed #arctothecacalendula #weedsonorganicfarms #butimnotbitter
