New season figs.
This year's pecan crop?
Cucumbers and nasturtiums.
Wild blackberries. Called dewberries by some here.
Wild gladiolus.
Had a pretty good set of thunderstorms last night. Oddly, the aluminum (watering trough) planter didn't seem to have gotten much rain at all. Even to the extent I found fire ants in one spot. Same spot as last year. Annoying. Flooded it good for now. Will probably continue to do so every day, though we have 2-4 inches of rain with possible tornadoes and hail forecast for this weekend.
I've read that you can use dawn dish soap. Or hot water. May lose a few cucumber plants whichever way I go.
The cucumber plants in the picture are in an area that isn't infested yet, near as I can tell.
Guess we didn't get the ant poison down around the outside of the container soon enough. Been watching for them and hadn't seen them until today.
You all be safe and stay sane! Be sure to thank God for all you have and for keeping you safe. God bless. 💗
Those must be some AGGRESSIVE ants.
ReplyDeleteVery hard to get rid of. Often the best you get is they move to another spot. And the bites really hurt. No fun!
DeleteHave a wonderful Easter, Linda. God bless...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Adrienne. God bless and keep you well. :-)
DeleteI hate fire ants and kill them at every opportunity.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed Easter!
I keep trying!
DeleteThank you, TB. A blessed Easter to you and yours. :)
You plants all look so pretty. Our fig is just beginning to leaf out.
