Home and Garden

My harvest of Aubergines this evening from the poly tunnel , they are going to be roasted and then frozen.

I didn't make the board it worked out cheaper to buy .Its for dolly so I wanted to add some foliage not everyone's taste but I am happy .there is pictures of me and my older sister when we was kids going to find some more photos to add.

Wasps are territorial so make a waspinator. This is a project that looks like a wasp nest. Once the wasp sees a wasp nest it will fly right buy the tree you hang it in. Blow up a balloon cover it with glue and paper when dry pop balloon and you have a waspinator just paint it brown put a hole in the bottom . Hang in a fruit tree, a natural way to deter wasps. Make sure there are no real wasps nest close by. They won’t work if there are. Also wasps don’t like the smell of garlic or spearmint or lavender these also are things to hang in your tree. I am going to hang these things in my Asian pear trees as the Asian pear has to be left on the tree until it’s ripe .

I’m following in Linda’s steps as I thought it a great idea.  I’ve picked nearly 8 and a half lbs (1 loaded trugs worth) of plums today and will also put them in brown paper bags to ripen.
