The in my plot of the , and another peek of the queen.

I don’t know if it’s the same queen who originally built a nest in the underside of the small plastic storage bench (the first photo shows the part of it in the left). I attached the nest under the roof of the waspHouse.

Vertical closeup of the waspHouse, taken from the bottom. The paperWasp queen is looking this way. There are few honeycomb cavities filled with silk.

Vertical photo of the wasp house. It’s a wooden box similar to a birdhouse, except the entrance is at the bottom front, mounted on the cedar stake, and placed by the wire mesh fence of my plot. The neighboring plot is overrun by the weed—in the background. There’s a pickling cucumber plant growing in the wire mesh cage in the foreground.

    First harvest of Lacinato kale! They’re so tender, succulent and yummy! 💚

    I left some in the herb bed for the cottontail mom to snack on. (She made a nest in there 🥹🐰)
