I know I say this often but we LOVE Giveaways here at Mary's Heirloom Seeds!
This is an extra special giveaway because we have a new book, The Beginner's Guide to Backyard Homesteading, from Lisa at The Self Sufficient Homeacre as well as heirloom seeds.
I have followed Lisa's blog for years and she also shares great information. She even interviewed me once for her website. You can read here at Mary's Heirloom Seeds - An Interview.
This book is PACKED with helpful information about gardening and raising livestock.
"At one time homesteading allowed settlers to move west and claim land by farming it. Today, modern homesteaders choose to raise backyard chickens and tend gardens and orchards to increase sustainability and self-reliance. You, too, can make your backyard a productive oasis in an uncertain world."
I've already started reading my copy and I love it! If you don't want to wait for the giveaway, you can always pre-order your copy HERE
This giveaway is open to all US residents from August 12th through August 22nd at midnight. You must use the rafflecopter app at the bottom of this post to enter. No purchase necessary.

Bees around here seem to like basil, radishes, other herbs with small flowers. I like everything honestly.

The bees like all the daffodils that grow on my farm.

I love planting Zinnia’s and Blue mist flowers.Bees and butterflies love them. I’m just now trying sunflowers for the first time. They haven’t bloomed yet, but I am sure I will love.
Lantana, Zinnias, and Marigolds are bringing the striped britches to our veggies.
I plant many herbs, so far I have only planted nasturtiums, marigolds and salvia in my gardens. I have learned of various flowering plants to plant fi pollinators next year.
Sunflowers or zinnia’s are my favorite flowers to ant for the bees.
