But, Rich! I don't want more wasps in my garden! They will kill off my swallowtaila and monarch butterflies and nest in my bluebird boxes! Can't have that! (-:
That grape scented salvia seems popular-- it's probably time to get some on order -- I assume they can't be started from seed--
Some links for more info and sources:

Thanks for those links, tabasco. I think I would like that grape-scented salvia, also. I don't think I have found salvia I haven't liked, yet. lol : )

A quick tip on the wasp in the birdhouses. Coat the inside with bar soap... am told it will prevent the nests from adhering.
podster--will the bird like it?
would like to get some bluebirds to nest this year.
I've not tried it but commented that I had tossed my birdhouses due to the wasp nests. This was suggested on another thread, I will have to try to locate it... no personal experience, sorry.
