Woke up this morning to check on my new garden and these guys where literally carpeting the surrounding rock bank that i used to help keep the soil from washing away, and they are getting on plants and eating them up. I do not think they are fire ants because i dont see any mounds, and they seem to be coming out from in between the rocks. Notice how they pile up on top of each other in clumps in the second photo.
