Shocked to find an ants nest in my turnips and swedes. How do I get rid of them without hurting my seedlings?

At least it's only in your turnips!  :lol: :lol:

Any way of taking up the seedlings gently and putting them elsewhere?  Not sure what you can do tbh. Good luck with it.

Get some Nippon ant bait, the ants will eat it and take it back to the nest. That usually sorts things out.
