Granny's gone and done it again

Not yet. But I bought the seeds for them all so I sure hope so!

Any tips for getting rid of ants in the garden without chemicals?

Look up DIY borax or boric acid ant bait. Ants take it back underground and it kills the whole colony. Bait can be hidden under a box or something with a rock on top to keep pets away. It's still a poison, but not nearly as toxic as some of the prepared stuff.... like the permethrin I spray for the mites... still killing 6 months later. Very scary. Borax is not like that at all.

Idk how a person can sleep as much as i did and still feel tired!

Listen to your body and relax and sleep some more. Healing takes energy.

OMG sick to my tummy and headache all from this audit which I know is going to come out fine. BUT the stress is killing me.

CHILLAX... everything will be fine!

I tried pb and borax in a chicken coop, and I think they died off but weren’t totally exterminated. I think I’m going to try boiling water poured in the garden, maybe dig a hole, pour boiling water, then in a few hours dig and pour again.

Benny, that was great. I am going to share that at my son's school. Most of the schools here seem to have given up and let the kids have their phones in class. It's a big mistake.

Happy birthday Grannyhope you're having a great day. Awfully quiet today

Hi. I hardly slept and have been procrastinating, not leaving to get my car checked out. Guess I better get going or it will be another day!

Some ants are looking for sugar, some for protein, so put sugar in the peanut butter and you cover both types. Also, play around with the amount of borax. Too much kills them before they can get it into the colony. Too little and nothing happens. Sounds like you may have used too much. I put the bait in bottle caps, so easy to mix a larger batch and try different concentrations.

I got the pots washed except one frying pan that needs to soak. DH brought in the kindling, and the wood so we will be warm tonight. On my third cup of tea. Still sleepy. Maybe a nap is needed.

I’ve been messed up this week. I napped yesterday for 5hrs on accident. You’ve been ill so you need extra rest anyway Cap.
