Thank you, it does, feeling the pain now from doing it but hay ho,
The planters I made from pallet wood last year, one is 8 foot and the other is 7 foot long. they were a challenge to make as I had to do them with no instructions just my head to direct me in the direction I wanted to go.
I filled them with petunias last year in the one on the right and the one on the left was lavender, it smelled amazing.
Think of this year using a creeping plant in both sides, something with small flowers that the bees will like, don't know what yet but there will be something

Oh my.. I can imagine the petunias!
The bees definitely will love lavender again. You can do some mix.. add different blooming flowers. Pansies would look lovely, but they are not very big.
Maybe some sage and mint too. They are useful and will bloom as well.
