Garden Friend

Check out this awesome garden spider. He (she?) is living in the strawberry bed and keeping them safe! If only he could eat snails.... I thought the web structure was so smart with that extra reinforcement in the center. Clever spider!

Wow! What a beautiful spider! And such an interesting design concept for the web. Looks like he/she could fix a nice little tear in some jeans real good! lol

You need some glass jars filled with beer and pushed down in the ground for the slugs...but you probably know that already.

Shauna I forget about the beer idea! :) Thanks for the reminder. Right now Colven gleefully searches and destroys..... (don't tell my neice Savannah, she LOVES snails! haha :)
