Too good to be true
I should have known there would be a catch............all summer no greenfly and only one dahlia plant with blackfly. I thought I'd gotten a good natural balance in the garden......until last Saturday. OH was clearing the wild section of the garden.......stuck fork into a wasps nest..........dozens of angry wasps around all weekend. Exterminator came yesterday, Monday, sprayed the place and broke up the nest.
OH back today to clear rest of area..........another wasps nest!..........exterminator called again, has determined there are at least three more nests in the ground............hundreds of angry wasps this time.
We've all been stung, even the poor dog..........so much for me getting a good balance in the garden!!

@Yviestevie that's exactly what the exterminator said they're actually great to eat greenfly/blackfly! To think I was feeling proud that 'I' had mastered the perfect planted garden to attract the 'good' insects to eat all the greenfly/blackfly
@RubyRoss thanks
Which is not to say it doesn't bloomin' hurt when you are stung

Unless of course you have one of those mega-frogs in your garden
