I always plant some aromatic herbs along the sides in the green house to attract bees for the pollination of the peppers, eggplants and tomatoes. Usually they self-pollinate, but on very hot days the pollen will not release well so they can use a little help. Not that we have had that problem recently, it has been very cool and more than adequate rain has come down upon us. There is no real need to fear these little insects as some do, as they are too busy collecting the nectar for their growing family. This wasp is collecting the nectar of some oregano.

Coriander, pak chi, cilantro. To some it smells like stinkbugs and tastes like kerosene, to some it is the most beloved herb to eat. Niseko Green Farm has organically grown coriander available now.

Pretty chive flowers. Great as garnish and very tasty also.
