#humanegarden — Public Fediverse posts

So, I’ve got a win-win plan for some of my leftover seeds. I’m gonna germinate them and plant them for wildlife right outside of the fence of my community garden plot.

Cottontails LOVE green bean and okra plants just as much as kale. 🐰

I’ll “sow” the squash/pumpkin/etc seeds for other small creatures to harvest. 🐹🐭

Three wasp houses for paperWasps now. We’ll see how they do.

This spring, two more queen wasps made their nest inside of the plastic storage bench. But the surface is too slick for their nest to stay attached when they get too big to support the weight. I’ve carefully attached their nests to two new waspHouses last week while the weather was still cool.

Had a chance to relocate the small #paperWasp nest to the #waspHouse this evening.
As I suspected, the nest wasn’t well-adhered to the smooth plastic lid. It would have fallen off eventually as the nest gets bigger/heavier. It came off easily.
The queen flew around nervously while we worked to set it up. I forgot to bring a button, so I sacrificed one from my shirt.
I didn’t see her find her nest in the new location. Pls send good vibes her way! Thank you.🙏❤️🏠🐝

Here’s the video of the successful relocation of the #paperWasp nest in 2020.

I’m afraid this plastic cap isn’t safe for them anymore—a spider took a residence last summer.
