Posted on July 12, 2021July 12, 2021Afternoon and evening Argiope spider. We call them banana spiders for the yellow but I think most people call them garden spiders. Missouri fluttermill primrose in the rock/sedum garden continues to bloom! Many tomatoes along with kohlrabi. A caterpillar on cilantro. Maybe a cutworm? It looks familiar… Uzbek golden carrots! Excited to try them… I harvested a bit early on two. Oops. Wes made hot pot style soup. It contains chard, kohlrabi stem and leaves, green beans, sweet peppers, onions, and green onions. A view of the spread. We have a vaccinated guest!!

That blue smudge is really there and the photo shows it accurately. It wasn’t apparent around 8am when I first got up so I wonder if it’s pollinated and done.
