The ants have infested our cold frame/hot box. We should be gnawing on fresh spinach and lettuce right now, but instead here I sit an ant hater. Do you think anyone has ever domesticated an ant eater? I probably should have countered their offensive when I first noticed the little buggers sawing down the purple cauliflower like the settlers of Hewitt took down the white pine. I guess maybe it was the hippy in me that thought everyone could co exist in the cold frame.  Lesson learned: when it comes to your food, sharing only happens after the harvest.
Tomorrow I will try to destroy the ants with corn meal and coffee grounds. So far the 50/50 concoction of water & apple cider vinager doesn’t seem to do anything but stink up the cold frame.
