Every day something new...
I didn't expect to see so many cool things when I went out to view the garden today... it inspired me to pull out the 'nice' camera (Fujifilm Finepix S1000) in lieu of the blackberry and I played around a bit with the super macro feature which this one does pretty well.
A canteloupe blossom
A baby cucumber
baby green beans
First ear of corn starting
This is the top of a cucumber plant... just playing with macro settings.
This looks similar to a ladybird beetle which is a very beneficial garden insect as I understand... but it looks too elongated so I'm not sure exactly what it is.
I suppose I should be grateful to the bumblebees for helping my corn grow but I confess they make me a bit nervous.
There are quite a few out there today.
The watermelon vines are finally starting to get long enough to train up the trellis
The canteloupe had a headstart and are all clearly moving up.

Cool stuff! Glad to see your hard work is paying off. I can imagine seeing something like this take off is pretty gratifying.
Yes quite! I will be sure to bring some of the fruits of my labor to the office for the IT dept to enjoy.
My garden has been attacked by a blight or fungus; I'm not sure it will survive.
Well I just found out that the yellow bug is the dreaded cucumber beetle. The next one I find won't get its portrait taken.
Quite cool. I love the macro work and find it inspiring. I am making a mental note to do more myself.
