Is it just me or what's the deal? I keep finding ants on all the veggies.
I sure wish I knew why they are there, do they eat veggies I thought they liked protien. They are on the bush beans and the okra today. Yesterday they were all over the melons.
I am an organic gardener so don't put chemicals down. I put some Diotamacious (sp?) Earth around the beans the other day but then I watered the next morning and they were right back.
They are around the outer base of this okra bloom, climbing up and down the stem. The plant looks otherwise healthy. So do the bean bushes. The melon they were on the other day doesn't look so good today, the leaves are a little wilted but it's 101* today.
Hope to hear from some of you about this. Tried to google but didn't come up with much other than a couple of people asking about ants in the garden ~ no answers.
Thanks.
