I’m having a really hard time this summer when it comes to gardening. We seem to have a new breed of ants in the yard – Argentina ants. Instead of the normal ant hills we have long dirt trails. Since I’m letting several flocks of our chickens free range I can’t put out the high powered poisons.

Out of desperation to have at least some home grown tomatoes I decided to put some plants in my flower beds. Everything was going fine…until one young group – my Partridge Rocks, decided that the perfect dust baths could be had in the freshly planted ground!

I finally put up small fences around the tomato cages. Problem solved…of course, I just happened to be walking by my Asiatic Lilies today, and guess who I found?
