They would always find the very worst places to bite, which of course would then itch like no tomorrow! Two great things about scenic PA: no fire ants, no chiggers.

We now live in NC and they aren't here yet but on the way. When in SC, I accidentally stood on a fire ant hill not knowing what it was---they bit me and I had a few bites that looked like boils. I nearly itched myself to death. So your story scared the life out of me. I hope your remedy works<BR/><BR/>As for your Swiss Chard--oh my word!!! How do you cook that in such large amounts? You will need a very large pot. Or do you cut it up and put it in salad---you will need a bigger monkey. You must make good compost!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914810585595300402.post-10561155602544193062008-05-18T20:33:00.000-07:002008-05-18T20:33:00.000-07:00Hi vonne, meme don't mean nothin with her yankee t...Hi vonne, meme don't mean nothin with her yankee talk.
