Hi -

I just came across your blog, and I really like it! My wife and I live in Framingham, and we have recently gotten into vegetable gardening. We have a very small amount of space dedicated to it (64 sq ft worth in raised beds), but as this is our first year, we didn't want to go overboard.

Anyhow - I'm glad I came across your site - it can be tough to find good vegetable gardening information sources for this area for new people like my wife and I.

Phenomenal shot, Kathy.

Besides the bee in flight, I really love the texture on the squash vines - I forget every summer how spiky they are until I reach in to grab a ripe fruit. My cucumbers got me good this afternoon!

I am getting a serious rash on my wrists this year and I think it is from my squashes. They have serious spines! Especially those zucchinis.

Like you say, this photo is a cucumber flower.

What a great close-up photo. It shows the pollen on the bee's leg. Your blog is wonderful!

What a great photo! I find the squash leaves awfully irritating, too, especially the sprawling ones. I've had great fun watching squash bees this season!
