When I planted my garden this year, I anticipated certain battles: weeds, drought, weeds, bugs, weeds, but now I'm encountering an unexpected enemy: ants. I have never seen so many small ant mounds everywhere. I grew up in mid-northern Alabama, and we had huge fire ant mounds. But never, not even in my previous nine years here, have I seen so many small ant beds. It seems as if every step you take you see at least one small mound. Tonight I thinned out the pea row, and almost every other plant had a small ant mound around it. GRrrr!
I'm not sure which is worse...ants, or those fat, yucky worms you find in corn.
