Potatoes lifted plus ants by the thousand

Thought I'd get a few spuds for a meal tomorrow, I spotted life and a lot of it. Ants plus future ants waiting to hatch (or whatever they do) in one part of a bed. Luckily it seems they have no interest in potatoes nonetheless I decided to harvest them all and move the bounty to the other empty bed which has no creepy crawlies. Buried under compost and a cover until needed.
