Heehee... I have something better than body armor - I have a husband! Last
weekend he was going to cut back the bottom leaves (which are rotting in
the soil due to moisture) until we found an active wasp nest in it. We
bought some wasp killer and went on the attack. We might try cutting the
lower leaves off this weekend.
BTW, I put some "Melting Sugar" peas in this weekend. They are snow pea
(edible pod) types. I figure I have a better chance of getting a crop
before the hot weather hits if I only have to wait for the pods, not the
peas.
Thanks, Michele
