Q: What is the difference between annuals and perennials?

Annuals are plants that complete their life cycle in one growing season (spring – fall/frost). Perennials are plants that live for more than two growing seasons. They die back in winter and re-emerge in spring.

Q: How do I get rid of ants in my garden?

Use ant repellents (Terro = Grease Ants, Revenge = Garden Ants).
