Bisbee cowpeas flowering moreI liked the contrast on this one.“Stubby” variety of okra.An okra flower with a little sweat bee flying by!This is the first okra flower I’ve seen in person here since they seem to keep banker’s hours.A little green-striped cushaw squash!Leaf of the squash is looking a bit rough.Found another Madhu Ras melon! This one is bigger.Salvia greggii “Diane” purple cultivar has bloomed! Now only waiting on the orange part of rainbow garden to bloom.Whoa. I did not realize this cushaw squash was here!A male Sachem on a Peruvian ground cherry. There is a flower in the background so I hope it’ll start producing soon.Two immature fruits on Amish Paste tomato.I think this is one of my stratification butterfly milkweed that I planted directly! Very excited!A doodlebug (also known as an ant lion) trap waiting for some little critter to walk by! I feel very good about the predators in the garden right now, keeping plant-eaters in check, as I also saw a little brown snake slither away. We had a Dekay’s Brown Snake last year so it was probably that. May it be fat and happy on earwigs!One of the rosemary bushes is blooming!

I like “stubby”. Nice true bug on the rosemary bushes. Your bugs are amazing!
Thanks! I don’t know why we have so many but the variety is pleasing! Since the four point primrose came up this year we have the thread legged bugs too

What is the green grass lookin plant by doodlebug?
A sedge. They sprout up all the time. I left it so I wouldn’t damage the doodlebug pit.
