Up Close and Personal

Since I began gardening, I feel more "in tune" with our surroundings and those that inhabit them. A bit of history - my mom is the true gardener. Growing up, I detested the bugs and dirt. I rarely helped my mother in the garden except to pick the vegetables. Who would have thought that I would get this up close and personal with a bee? I sat there harvesting my basil plants while this busy bee was feeding on my sedum. It was so entertaining. Isn't nature grand?!



On the other hand, this little devil was feeding away on my tomato plants.
