Propagation at work. Raspberry Crazy Ants LOVED the heat mat I had pots on, all of the refrigerated stevia seeds and the other refrigerated seeds that I put in pots on heat mat were a total fail, but when I lifted up a plant on that shelf to move it out front to be easier to water, it became obvious I had ants coming from somewhere. So I had to clear the greenhouse. On the propagation front the small hive I thought was a dead out has been colonized by a nice swarm, I am now going through about 8 pounds of sugar a day feeding a total of 6 hives, lol. Also on the propagation front my Mexican flame vine dropped into a water tray on the pond in the greenhouse and put on some real nice roots in several spots, I did leave them in the greenhouse on a water tray. I cleared all of the other plants out and poured boiling water on the shelf full of crazy ant nests. (those ants eat electrical wire insulation and cause fires, and my exterminator says they are still figuring out how to kill them. I have found boiling water highly effective.) So a few photos and bed.
