Help me before I lose them all! Ants...or something bigger? —Susan

Ants devour my dahlias. Oh, my.
What is with the ants eating my dahlias? I bought a few to try at the local Grayslake Garden Club sale a few weeks ago. These 4 or 5 plants were small, healthy and well-cared for—ready to pop into the ground. I planted them shortly, which is a miracle for me this spring. I looked at them this morning and only the stem of one is left... and the white plastic tag that reminds me of a grave marker. Another little delectable plant is on its way to the same fate.

Sorry to hear about your dahlias...maybe slugs are the culprit? It has been a wet few weeks.---Carol
It is hot and dry on that side of the house. I see ants and yellow jackets on the dahlias. Could it be the yellow jacket? It looked like it was sucking on the stem!
Maybe it is time to break out the magnifying glass on those pesky ants?
