Ants in flower pots good or bad? I grow my peppers in pots and yesterday when I was doing a transplant I found an ant colony living in one of my plants. On the one hand I thought that they are keeping the soil aerated but then I wondered if they munch on the roots. I am hoping putting them in a larger pot will kill them all off before they can figure out how to dig their way out but if I see a lot of activity I can always seal off the drain holes, fill it with water until it is saturated then let it sit for an hour. What would you do?
. Started about 150 seedlings of toms and butternut squash (from seeds saved) in cups, quart containers and tissue rolls (taped over) in 5 banana boxes this last Wed., many to give away. I used screened soil with some dehydrated manure mixed in.
I Pray they sprout and grow well to the glory of God. I only have a little window space facing South so I will be try to use grown lights for ones I keep. I would like to make a small outdoor greenhouse using clear plastic and wood, but as temps are usually in the 40's at night till May and can go lower (and the ground will not reach 60 till about June), then keeping them warm at night and on cloudy days till about mid-May (the earliest frost-free date here) would be a challenge.
Pray, pot and post!
SNOW on the ground here this am. Gonna have to raise frozen veggies this yr. Still snowing at 7 am. I have or had 13 early tomatoes in the ground.
