[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1126757, member: 4362"] Since planting my garden a week ago we have had 5 inches of rain. I noticed two cabbage sets I had planted were wilted and I figured they were just drowning. Looked today and have five more wilting bad so I pluck one out of the ground and find fire ants all over the root and the root has been eaten like a beaver got hold of it but I wasn't positive it was caused by the ants or some other insect and the ants were just secondary like in the case of aphids. A quick Google and learn it is the fire ants. Ba$tards! I read on about control of fire ants in cabbage and learn the following. I don't know if any of you have priced McCormick's cayenne pepper or their chili powder lately but it ain't cheap. Besides, I don't want to make the ants "uncomfortable" I want to KILL THEM. I may not have been the pick of the litter but momma didn't raise no fool. So much for going organic this year but the ants are dead. [/QUOTE]
