This little guy was marking his territory and guarding the little
water feature in our backyard. He was suprisingly unafraid and
allowed us to get within 6 inches of him to take this photo.
We have grapes growing in our backyard. The vine is growing over the storage
shed and up into the apple tree. We don't yet know if they will be red or green,
but it's very cool anyway. Unfortunately we think our grapevine has a disease,
but we don't know enough about growing fruit to know how to treat it.
We've also got an extremely profuse rosebush with beautiful miniature
roses. I went out and picked a few to put in a bud vase and look what I
found - A freaky little pink and white spider. So cute and so strange!
Sami needs tomatoes. Last year the yield from our 3 plants was deemed
"insufficient". This year Sami decided he would plant ten times more.
We got these started a bit late, but some of them have already started producing.
First Tomatoes. Sami's tomato math:
1 plant = 10 tomatoes <=> 30 plants = 300 tomatoes. :)
The fuschias in our hanging baskets are starting to bloom.
The clematis vine (and something else, wisteria maybe?) have completely
covered the lattice on the back of the garage. I think we will have to start
chopping them with the hedge clippers before they take over our patio.

Well, I hope this posts. I think it's because I'm currently in Belgium, but the comment window popped up in Dutch. Anyway, I loved the commentary on the tomato plants b/c Sami's logic made me laugh (and I recognize his logic)! Great photos of the insect and spider, too!
Interesting about the dutch comment box... and yep, your comment is showing. Thanks :)
