| | The caterpillars continue to get bigger and bigger:
The thyme is growing well:
Ladybugs are feasting on aphids (on a raspberry plant in this photo):
And tiny baby toads (this one could sit on a quarter, I think, to give you a sense of scale -- the macro lens really makes it hard to tell how big things are if you didn't see them in real life!) are hopping about in the garden. Toads eat a LOT of insects, so I'm thrilled to have so many of them calling our garden home this year!
Last week, I planted about nine varieties of sunflowers up along the road, so we'll see what does well. I also started more native perennials from seed after the wild success of black-eyed susans and seashore mallow from last year. This weekend, the beets will be harvested, pie pumpkins will be planted, and we might get a few more ripe cherry tomatoes (we had one this week already!).
