Why are the cucumber and egg plants covered in ants? I went to pick cucumbers and gotten bitten by black ants, all the leaves are covered in black ants. Even the egg plant it has three small egg plants hanging but they have ants all over them. Should I just pull them up because they are dying? We had a good rain shower last night finally after a week or so no rain. :wave: I have a question about my garden. Why are the cucumber and egg plants covered in ants?

I have a retaining wall to hold the soil and just today I finally got the wall painted and the dirt leveled so tomorow I can plant my cover crop for next spring. I read the Ruth Stout gardeen book about 25 years ago and I think she is right about the hay or straw for mulch and Suzanne get this NO HOEING yeah :fairy: :bugeyed: It is actually the best way to have all you want from a garden, vegies, fruit and mulch without the cover crops and you can grow all year in some way or the other. I am hopeing for a greenhouse. Suzanne, I love ALL of your blogs and I sit for hours and read them. I was born in Virginia and Oregon is alot like it.

I don't know everything... a couple of suggestions to refresh...if you know how to clear your temporary files - NOT all of your browsing history or cookies, just the temporary files, that might help. and if you have a dsl modem - modem/router combo, cable modem or satellite modem...reboot that if you know how. Those modems typically have some memory and I have occasionally had problems with mine holding an old page - particularly if there was some sort of unusual outage or my computer hung. I would suspect the modem memory before the temporary cache since you have tried 2 different browsers. Alison… I don’t know everything…

Try it. Bales of hay work great. The mulch suggestion is right on…..never have to weed, and the vegetables are so clean. Try it. Bales of hay work great.

For me your main page is not updating. :no: (I am using firefox but I also tried with IE and still came up with the same page) It is stuck on the post about the hard day. I think it was last Sunday. I was glad to find out today that you where still updating things. I loved the post about the chickens settling in to their new home. :purr: ~A That is a pretty garden, Just a side note.
