They’ve just had their morning shower. Little half globes of water catch the morning light and I hope they don’t feel indecent, since I’m staring at them still wet. A close inspection reveals a new invader on plant #1. An invader I haven’t seen before. Pink and aphid like, I’ll have to look it up (potato aphids…grrr). The green leaves dotted with pink and white parasites do have their attraction… kinda festive. I follow a silken thread and find a money spider, no bigger than the aphids, and black. An ally for my besieged tomato. And on plant #2, a male striped lynx spider with wicked spiked legs. And, four new marble sized tomatoes. Lovely day two in my beastie vegetable garden.
