Well, as usual it is a race between the Tanners and the Bhaskarans---I'll let

I do need some help with ants!  They are under the ground around the main

  I like to alternated between powdered Blood meal and Bone meal,
  alternately sprinkling them lightly on the leaves and fruit.
  Please be advised if you have a dog. They like them both.
