I know this is a much older blog but I did try to write to you yesterday regarding Val Chatel, and the show that used to be there when they built the amphitheater on the property in the 80s. For some reason my message didn’t go through so I am trying again, and I was hoping I could speak with you if possible. I have many great memories of the property as I grew up there from the ages of 5 to 8.

She was telling that her beekeeper buddies said that if it grows where there wasn't fire something is different about it, at least for the bees. The bees that they took up to a logged but not burned area to feed on the fireweed all died. Isn't that intriguing, I wonder what was going on. We were talking about it because, like her momma she lets "weeds" grow in her gardens and yards.Lannyhttp://www.itsthedirt.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-70786368945271171022010-07-30T10:03:30.439-05:002010-07-30T10:03:30.439-05:00Fireweed bloomed profusely where I grew up --- I ...Fireweed bloomed profusely where I grew up --- I miss it.<br /><br />Hey -- you are restrained.
