After finding the grubs all over the chard, I assumed I would find them on the big mustard greens that were already dwarfing the rest of the mesclun greens. Instead on the mustard greens, I found ants. The dirt around them was teeming with little brown ants. They were boring in and out of the root. Not sure if I can do anything about them. In any case, the nearby lettuces do not seem to be affected.

Ants in the Mesclun
