What about Cutter Advanced Insect Repellent (I keep the pump spray by the
side door) and 25 feet Ortho-Death-to-Wasps-25-Feet-Away Aerosol spray in
her gardening bucket with her trowel and clippers?

Herbs (not basil nor garlic chives though). Cucumbers? I've never seen a
wasp on cucumbers. Garden at dusk or in the rain. Best, Geri
