Potatoes and a butterfly

Emptied two potato growing bags and found four potatoes (fine, but not worth picturing) and a toad. Sorry for disturbing you, Toad. I stopped moving bags since it was afternoon and hot on Saturday. I will do more later in an evening for Toad movement safety.

This black widow spider was more productive than my potatoes with six round egg sacs generated vs my four potatoes. I put this bag back.

A butterfly on butterfly milkweed. (Pearl Crescent).

  Haven’t had a problem in a while now but also not at seedlings time of year. I just planted some carrots so I guess we’ll find out
