Garden Photos 08.04.10

 
Butternut Squash
 
Acorn Squash
 
Okra
 
Butterfly Caterpillar. I'm glad he took part in the photo shoot this morning at 7:30 because when I went to look for him again this evening he was gone. Hopefully he was hiding under a leaf, and hopefully he didn't get eaten by a bird... According to this website, it's a black swallowtail caterpillar: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/category/caterpillars-and-pupa/butterflies/


Mom: I'm looking for your help in identifying this plant. It's a volunteer plant that I thought was squash when it first came up, but it grew vertical instead of viney, and is not at all like squash. 
The beautiful sunflowers, which are doing their job of attracting birds and bees and butterflies to the garden.

Hm... maybe that plant is from Jack's magic beans!

Let it bloom and see what it turns out to be. Could have been a seed a bird dropped. If it's woody-ish, maybe a catalpa tree seedling? The leaves look sort of similar but it's hard to tell from the picture.

Love ya
Mom
