SRS, I hope you recover quickly.


I started to turn the compost heap and as the top few inches had dried out, an ant colony had moved in. I just set a bait trap of borax, sugar, molasses, water and peanut butter. Don't know if they like sugar or protein, so I included both. I would just leave the ants there, but the compost is right next to the garden, and I don't want to deal with aphid farming, too.

Today was another day of sun/clouds/rain and so far no hail - Woo Hoo!
