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) -bob 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! elizabeth |
