"Buzz & Bloom" Bee-Friendly Heirloom Seed Package Planting Instructions:
1. Preparation: Most varieties in this package prefer full sun (6-8 hours) and well-drained soil. Borage and Nasturtiums are particularly hardy and can handle average soil, but adding a little compost will help your Oregano and Basil thrive and produce more nectar for the bees.
2. Sowing: Direct-sow Dill, Borage, and Nasturtiums after the last frost, as they prefer not to have their roots disturbed. Basil and Oregano can be started indoors 6 weeks early or sown directly in warm soil. Plant larger seeds like Nasturtiums about 1/2" deep, while tiny seeds like Oregano should be pressed into the surface and barely covered with a fine dusting of soil.
3. Care: Keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Once established, these varieties are relatively low-maintenance. To maximize "Bee Appeal," do not use chemical pesticides in this area, as they can harm the very pollinators you are trying to attract. Natural Neem oil or soap sprays are safer alternatives if pests appear.
4. Harvesting: You can harvest the leaves of Basil, Oregano, and Dill for your kitchen anytime. However, for the "Buzz & Bloom" effect, always leave at least 30-50% of the plant to grow flowers. Nasturtium flowers and leaves are edible and have a wonderful peppery kick—just be sure to leave plenty for the nectar-seekers!
5. The Bloom Secret: While most herb gardeners "pinch off" flowers to keep leaves sweet, this package is designed for the opposite. Let your Basil, Oregano, and Dill "bolt" and flower. This creates the high-sugar nectar that turns your garden into a permanent sanctuary for honey bees and butterflies.
