Actually, given the wind, my garden is in Manitoba. Maybe Fred is in my
garden.

Lovely day today, cool (12C, 54F) but bright & sunny. Cut the grass on
two of the three lawns this evening. Sun getting low on the horizon at
the moment (8:45pm) and shines right into my eyes as I try to read in
the lounge; but would rather have that than those cloudy, windy, chilly
& wet days of winter.

Two things on the wasps--I have good luck with the glass wasp traps with the
sloping sides and the "doughnut" type bottom. My wasps tend to like pink
lemonade, others swear by beer (waste it on those beasts???) or Coca Cola.
Apart from having to dump the drowned corpses every so often, it is great.
Another thing that is showing up here are fake wasp nests, which are paper,
printed to look like the real thing. You just hang them up, and wasps,
being territorial, apparently will stay 200 metres away. Haven't tried
that, but I also have people tell me that a brown paper lunch bag will work
too.
I had DD climb up my roof when it was still snowing (what, last week???) and
knock down the current nest. I am terrified of the little beasts

If you know where the nest is, treatment is simple. Get the wasp
spray available in Crappy Tire, think it's made by Raid, and after
dark, blast the nest. They return to the nest by dark and this is a
very simple matter, they'll never know what hit them.
