Default Fire ants in veggie garden


"

What if the neighbors see you buying *instant* grits? Do you

think
they'd believe it's to get rid of ants? You might never live it

down.

(For those that don't know what I'm talking about, real

Southerners will
only use "Old fashioned" grits, or "quick" grits in a pinch.

Instant
grits are not very good, and the only reason they are in the

stores is
as joke to sell to ignorant Yankees)

It's ok Bob. The neighbors already think I'm hopeless. Apparently,
my box of Cream of Wheat was spotted in my shopping basket... :-)
My California upbringing reveals itself at the crawfish boil when
I show up with an avocado, multi grain bread and a basket of
veggies!
