blooms, seeds, resilience, death

took a run out to the community garden after work to do some watering and have a look around and got a reminder that as you move from macro to micro specific detail can be disturbing...the asparagus( first photo ) is robust and producing a few berries ( second ) which are ripening well...i am looking forward to asparagus from seed...down the row some cobb lee potatoes are blooming ( third ) and there are potato fruits in the garden ( fourth ) in the garden...the jersualem artichokes ate also doing well ( fifth ) and are back to blooming ( sixth )...more seed hopefully...the shattered teosinte ( seventh ) is still showing how resilient and determined plant life can be...we may see actual leaves yet...finally the last four photos are the disturbing part i was on about...the odd spider that has been lurking in the jerusalem artichoke blooms has had its patience rewarded with a kill...looks like a bee to me...and it was stil feeding when i stumbled on it...camera shy ( it rarely would budge outside the flower petals before ) it went out of its way to avoid the lens, scurrying around the back of the flower...and resolutely taking dinner along...i am pleased, at times, to be part of the macro element of the garden...
