Andrew heard us say that one day last week and he says it every time he comes out to look at it with us! He's right though! Just look at the picture to see for yourself.
We've adopted quite a few bugs in our garden. There are two remarkable green spiders. One on the pepper plant and one on one of the corn plants. The one on the corn plant had another bug in it's pinchers today, so we're definitely keeping these green guys around. We also have seen the most adorable, yet probably harmful, green inchworm, a bright green grasshopper that has doubled in size, these beetles that look a lot like lady bugs but aren't, and a colony of ants living under one of the bean plants.
It looks as though the corn may actually bear some fruit, so that's exciting! My tomato plant is growing nicely, and flowering abundantly for several weeks, but there are no beginnings of tomatoes. My grandmother said I should fertilize and also buy and apply something called Bloomset, since several of the flowers have just dried up and fallen to the ground.
Thanks for sharing our lives with us!
Rachel
