It,s my fault Sandy , I let them get to ripe , I can,t eat them quick enough . I have picked all the good ones , peeled them and put them in the freezer .. I,m not sure what they wil be like ,!! I have seen them frozen in bags in Tesco so it,s worth a try !

should be ok as long as you eat as soon as defrosted amy, such a waste to,, would mind if it were bees and not wasps

I think I'm glad my fig tree didn't fruit this year! Haven't seen many wasps so far - I think I have been lucky.

I know that wasps can be a pest but they do a lot of good by ridding the garden of greenfly and caterpillars. We#ve had stacks of cabbage whites laying eggs in the garden but as soon as the caterpillars hatch the wasps take them back to their nest to feed their young so we haven't had to spray any chemicals on the vegetable garden.
