We always talk about our gardening successes, but not so much our failures. I'm sorry to hear about the ants and hope you find a solution. SO disappointing.
Did you know you can eat yukka flowers??
I hate the plant as it really sucks moisture from the garden. We cut ours out and the roots too, and the new native garden is going great now.
I did not know I could eat those hahahaha funny video, who knew.
Ever since we arrived here she was, and my boyfriend hates it, because of how pointy and “dangerous” it could be, since it has stung us a couple of times. And I did notice that the soil around it is dryer than in the rest of the garden. I wasn't going to take it down by myself out of fear that the real estate agent was going to get mad, but now that it has fallen because of the flowers, it doesn't hurt that much, I think we’ll be fine without the parts that fell.
I think I talk too much about my failures, as I mentioned, and I don't really want to come across as heavy, but sometimes gardening is hard. More if all your effort and hopes and energy gets torn down by little and very fast activists. I care about ecology, but I think I will try to control them a little bit, or a lot.
Thank you @riverflows for taking the time to read my post and for the support, I honestly appreciate it.
And I appreciate you. Yeah wait til you dig under ground to see it's roots - it's pretty rad the way it seeks out and destroys water! Your boyfriend is right - it's a savage beast! Of course gardening can be hard. Today I stepped in a LOT of chicken shit and tripped over a rake. I win!
