we had a bunch of wasps in our hedge this summer. Harry got stung multiple times when he was trimming the hedge. then he went out to finish trimming and got stung a few more times!!! he didn't get the swelling though. Never took notice of hornets before. I guess the bright yellow on the tail end is a way to ID them

going out to collect seeds today from lady in red and coral nymph salvias, Coronado hyssop and hollyhock

I'm fermenting tomato seeds now too. And, we're still harvesting tomatoes like crazy!! our Turkish eggplants are weird. Nothing at all like I expected. The eggplants are so small, like a cherry tomato sized pumpkin. I haven't tried cooking any yet. Our Armenian cucumbers were a bust. No cucumbers really developed from all the flowers. Maybe, just a few, and they stayed small.
