March Newsletter -
Spring is definitely just around the corner! The crocuses and snow drops are up, the hellebores are about to bloom, and one more sign of spring has shown up at my house: sugar ants in the kitchen. Every year, something gets left on the counter (this year, a teacup with residual sugar), and voila! teeny ants are suddenly all over the counter. A few bait traps were set out and all the ants were gone by the next day. Until next spring.
