[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 157943, member: 367"] LBrandt was eating Early girl and 4th of July in July. I have a few varieties but still nothing even close to ripe. Going to try those two next year. I've been tinkering with pollinator plots in the yard and have an abundance of pollinators and other hard working beneficial bugs this year. Some of the ones I disliked the most in the past are the hardest workers. Bald face hornets and wasps and even ants are so interested and busy with the pollen and small insects on the flowers that they totally keep to themselves and don't bother humans or invade our territory. Our garden has never looked better, They are in competition for every bit of pollen they can get and the garden shows it . The plots also keep them away from the hummingbird feeders and strawberries. Another plus is the humming bird feeders are only swarming with birds early in the morning and late in the evening . If you hang hummingbird feeders, Next time you are out walking late in the fall and see a wasp nest on a tree branch bring it home branch and all and hang it next to your humming bird feeder the next summer. Wife hung my prize wasp nest under the sofit of our house about 3 feet away from two feeders and presto, No more wasps at the hummingbird bird feeders. We will see what happens this fall when the flowers quit blooming and dry up but it's been a win win so far. [/QUOTE]
