What flowers attract wasps?
I remember someone mentioned it in another post but I forgot what it was and can’t find it.
Was it mountain mint?

Jujube blooms attract wasps. And flies and ants and butterflies and small bees. But I have seen a lot of wasps of different kinds.

Sweet alyssum. This is why you need to take notes on everything you read here (especially from trusted sources like @zendog) like I do

What temps do pomegranates go dormant/defoliate? And do they need to go dormant to produce fruit or is it just a survival tactic for the cold?

I second that. They bring in wasps like the mint brings honey bees. There were so many wasps I moved them back from the deck. The weird thing is I saw wasps I had never seen before locally showing up.

I have 2 jujube trees beside each other on the south side of the house. One has thin leaved mountain mint, the other has peppermint, orange mint, and mojito mint, all with slightly different bloom periods.

Thank you everyone! I’ll try to plan for all the herbs 
plan is to plant betwee all my trees so that I don’t have to use systemics or spray them 
Will look into jujubes 
I’ve had them only defoliate when temperatures get under 40 degrees. Mainly around 35 do they really start losing their leaves though.
I think the long periods of cold are the only things to stress them out enough to bloom because I’ve tried water drought and alike and they haven’t bloomed for me then. Only after winter and only once in the year. This is my experience though and i could be doing something wrong not sure yet because i haven’t focused on them too much which they seem to like

Mine in a pot went dormant out on the deck after a few upper 20 frosts. i brought it inside and put it in a south facing window and it leafed back out a few weeks later. now its pushing new growth.

I use cattle panel, t posts, old gates, and even heavy duty roll fence (for annuals) for a lot of projects around here.

Sea berries!
I like sea berries for erosion control. They hate being waterlogged (as I found out with my first planting) and love hillsides, even rocky ones.

I waited my pomegranate drop all the leaves before I brought it in. Now it’s in unheated basement about 40s, and it starts grow leaves again. I may have to put it in garage to keep it dormant.

years ago I wanted blueberries and I bought half a dozen plants including a couple “little giant” plants.
Rabbits ate them to the ground. The “little giant” variety was especially loved by the rabbits.
I eventually gave up on blueberries because my dog learned to love the berries, well before they even start to ripen.

I have a ton of rabbits in my yard but all my blueberries are in an area surrounded by 2’ tall fencing and it keeps the rabbits and my dog out successfully. I’m sure it was disappointing to see what the rabbits did to your plants. Could be worth trying again one day with some protection.

I have pure Sulphur and want to use in soil to bring the soil ph level down to 4.5-5.5 for blueberry plants. If I use 3 gallon pot, how many tbsp Sulphur should I mix in the soil?

" * As a guide, you can use 1 level measure of tea spoon (approx.5 grams) for every 10 liters of soil which will reduce the pH by one unit."

thankyou! This is easy to do
