I didn’t have a lot of time to get the plants in before dark. This didn’t help any. BUT.I was able to get the bees moved into their new hive and the plants in the ground.

1624 Sherber is about 5 feet long. I gave it a little nitrogen in the watering last night. Hopefully it will encourage the secondaries.
