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.
