Wasp Houses

Here are some wasp houses I put up. They are just those decorative fake bird houses you get in flower arrangements. When I lived in the country I would put up inverted coffee cans for them to live in and had renters every year. The ones shown here are nice ornamentals put no wasps have moved in as of yet. It's going on three years now, glad I don't pay taxes. I suppose they don't like the neighborhood because just below them are the Croakers......a frog family (also a vacant house but the wasps don't know that, ha)

The wasps dine on cabbage moths, as do the sparrows. They are constantly grooming the plants and carrying away the squirmy prize to a place other than the houses I set up for them.

Clotches

Time to Plant

Temp 43-57 The weather is supposed to be cooler than normal this spring. I started my garden by setting out onion slips along with potatoes. I am planting a full set of cole crops this year in anticipation fo the cooler season. The price of food had gone through the roof. A good reason to grow more veggies. I dug up a lot of iris to make way for the veg garden.

I made some cloutches for the seedlings by staking boards alongside the row. I will put plastic over that & hold it down with rocks & dirt. I'll put buckets over the brocolli seedlings that I put out a few days back.
