Ants! red ones

So, coming home today to do my daily check on whats happening, to find some munching seems to have been occuring on most of the young seedlings and a few other smaller seedlings, bearing mind this has happend once already, about a month ago, so now the only action is to have everything of the ground! apart from things that are already potted, hanging or the peas or beetroot which are in the ground already and seem to be fine, although the pea's had been nibbled on but i'm armed with spray now. As for the ants, well there just a real pain in the arse!. So i have moved 3 bags to a plastic table with a very temporary poly sheet over them as there still quite delicate to strong wind and the rest of what was left from the feast to another table with my golfing umbrella covering them from possilble heavy rain, ofcourse when its sunny i'll lift it off and once there big enough they will then get a nice new big pot to live in. I've stuck some photo's to show the evidence of this, although i have not worked out how to grid the photos instead of a vertical line as of yet and niether have i solved the problem of why the photos always go to the top of the post, however 1 day in only ........i'm sure i'll work it out! poxy thing this is today, can't get any photo's up at the mo so this will have to follow

  2. When you upload the picture you get the option of size and placement on the page, as to where it is vertically you can drag and drop it to where you want it.
