Here is my song lyric about honey bees:
Who's in the garden, working while we play?
Who's making honey for us everyday?
Who's the little worker bee-ing great in every way?
If you know, if you know, step right up and say.
Honey bees, honey bees, honey bees with big responsibilities.
Little bees, little bees, little bees need awesome capabilities.
Never tease, never tease, never tease those amazing "littlies".
Honey bees, honey bees, honey bees. Love my honey bees.
Did you know that there are more honey bees than other types of bee and pollinating insects? So it is the world's most important pollinator. Approximately one third of the food we eat each day relies on pollination mainly by bees, and other insects, like; butterflies, wasps, moths, ants and beetles. Also birds and flying foxes, too.
Song lyrics about some of the healthy veggies in my garden:
The food in my little veggie patch, is positively naturally healthy.
The sunlight and water make it grow, grow, grow!
The soil is organic so i know, know, know!
The food in my little veggie patch, is positively naturally healthy.
Sweet potato, watermelon, peas and broccollini.
Carrots, corn and cauliflower and zucchini.
Are good for you and good for me
because they are nutritious....and

very, very, very snaxalicious!

The turnip is a root vegetable commonly grown in temperate climates worldwide for its white, fleshy taproot. The word turnip is a compound of turn as in turned/rounded on a lathe and neep, derived from Latin napus, the word for the plant.

Here is Izzy, all ready to water her veggies and citrus trees. She loves taking special care of her garden. The sun has gone down and in hot breezy weather it is probably best to water in the early evening. This gives the veggie plants enough time to dry out, but there is still the chance for overnight water uptake by the roots. And if you want to water in the morning then start very early – before the sun is shining.
In the cool winter months, the very best time to water plants is in the early morning. This will allow the water to run down into the soil and reach the roots of the plant without too much excess water lost to evaporation.
"When I make snacks at Nix & Nax, I use many of the veggies and herbs from my garden and that's why my snacks are not only snaxalicious, but healthy too.
