Weeding and Ants

I weeded the second garden bed yesterday.

I am having all sorts of issues with ants this year. They are eating the radishes annd turnips, as well as okra flowers, squash leaves, and Brussels Sprout stalks. They build holes from their nests right next to the plant and then strip it of whatever they want. Some of the plants are hurting pretty bad, and I’ve lost quite a few radishes and turnips at this point. I poured vinegar in some of the holes, hoping to kill a few of them off, but I will have to see if it helped.

Thank you for reading my post.
