Re: Eggplant ants

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Well, the ants have gone away!! But that's only
because they have eaten every stem that held a
flower!! They chew through the stems but leave the
flowers on the ground. It doesn't make any sense...
Any other ideas?
