I am TRULY enjoying Bee Balm in my garden this year! This is new to me and purchased as a donation for a fallen fireman here. I have NEVER had hummingbirds in the garden and since this has been blooming I have a little hummer that is out there every time I look out. I am LOVING it. Can some of you more experienced gardner's please tell me how I would go about collecting seed from it to share with others? I am sending a "care" package to a new gardener and would like to include seeds for it as she has none. Are they easy to grow from seed? So much to learn but I am LOVING learning :)

Hubby is going to rototill me a new garden this weekend! I am SO tickled about it. I'm calling it the "expansion" garden where I will put divisions of things that have gotten too big and also seedlings from any daylily pods I hopefully get this fall. It's really going to add some color to the other side of the driveway near the woods and will certainly brighten up that area which really needs it. Can you tell I'm excited? *lol*
