As Fall progresses be on the lookout for red wasp nests hidden around your domicile. These colonies produce a bunch of queens who will overwinter and start new colonies in the Spring. They are looking for cozy homes for Winter, and will even try to go into your pants pockets! They are hungry and ill-tempered right before frost, so deal with them forcefully or leave them alone. They will try to get into your house, so act accordingly.
We are busy getting ready for Winter. We pulled tomato cages today and have many posts to pull out of the garden, then cutting, cleaning up cardboard, and burning. I noted that there was a lot of bird spatter on the pepper plants. Susan said it is from hummingbirds feeding on the pepper flowers. That is a good reason to keep your pepper plants going until a killing frost! Back To The Old Grind!
