Ants in my tomato earthbox





























Yesterday I noticed that there were ants all in the base of my tomato plant. There were not just a few, but an infestation. As you can see, they really stirred up the dirt. I don't know if I should leave them or not. I do know that I don't like ants. With a little research, I found a solution I want to try. I have sprinkled a little fake sugar around the base. Supposedly, the ants don't know it is fake sugar and eat it and die. We will see.

I know that I was to let you see my frame for the cukes and squash. Things have been a little harried around here so hopefully tomorrow it will be done. I will tell you this though, my lettuce, pole beans, corn and peas have all sprouted and are doing well.
