That aloe looks amazing! Tomatoes as well.
Gardening definitely comes with ups and downs, more ups I would say but it's not easy when something gets destroyed overnight after all the time and effort you put in. I hope you'll find a way to beat the ants.
Indeed, it is very discouraging to put so much energy and time and see it destroyed in one night, but that's how life works I guess, we could lose everything in a second. That said, it absolutely doesn't mean that I will give up entirely, so Thank you very much for your comment. I wish I could make a great sauce for pasta with my tomatoes, to celebrate that the ants are gone.
