Re: Eerie Quiet...Gene

Only thing I ever found that worked for yellow jackets is diazinon because it will knock them down before they can attack. Hate to use it, though.

Do you have any such tricks for yellow jackets?

If you hose the wasps and stuff down real good, you can get in and get

what
you need. They can't fly when they're wet. That's what I do when I need
to

move a nest.

yep, gonna be hot here today too. Amazing how well the weeds grow isn't
it.... Learned to mulch as I do a section or by the time I get back to
do the mulching, the weeds are starting again. sigh.


I have an outhouse for garden tools as well. Also a rustic bench ( made
from tree logs) next to it. I bouight mine at a craft fair, and it has a
cute window on the side- well window framing - Anyways, the point is, I
need to screen it in cause every wasp and hornet in the neighborhood
lives in there. It is a battle to decide who gets the tools.....They get
quite upset when I open the door to grab a shovel etc.....

Summer has hit here....
Out watering containers in the nursery every other day now. Some
trees
and shrubs every day.
I am still crawling on my hands and knees through the garden weeding
every morning from about 9 until noon. Still a ways to go.Next to renew
the
mulch in all the bare spots so I will not have as much of a problem
later
on
with weeds.
Doing a bit of transplanting as I go. Trying to get plants from the
holding area into the garden. Lots of trees and shrubs to go yet. Looks
like
it will high summer before they get into the ground and then they will
need
watering frequently until the can take root. I want to get a few crafty
type
things done this summer. Want to paint come coordinating trim in a few
places... lawn chairs and tables, trim on the new covered bridge, one
end

of
the garage where we now have a shelf over the garage door. If.. big

if...
I
can find the time I want to have an outhouse constructed just past where
the
covered bridge sets at the edge of the woods. (for tool storage on that
side
of the property)
Always lots to do...
