Re: When to cut flower
The ants bring aphids. Keep them off your plants.

Re: When to cut flower
Hmm haven't had any issues with aphids thankfully but thanks for the heads up. What do you use to keep the ants away? Biggest issue has been grasshoppers eating the leaves off tomato plants in the veggie garden ugh!

Re: When to cut flower
A band of petroleum jelly/ Vaseline works very well. Cheap and effective, ants will not cross it.
