Anyone know why ants would camp out in the upper branches of my
parsely. They try to attack me when I go out to harvest the leaves.
These ants are a bit over 1/8"-4mm approx- long, half red/half black
and real mean.

Are there aphids on your parsley?

Regardless, take the hose and give the parsley a really strong shower
- use a water stream as strong as the parsley can handle. Tick your
parsley.
