My corn stalks have two tiny ears of corn and a praying mantis.
I'd get pictures, but it's dark. The weird thing is that the mantis looks more tan than green, I don't know if that's a normal variation or the light or what, but it's very cool looking.

I <3 my garden. I need to expand next year so I can have more cool stuff.

4. Cool. I was worried maybe she was dying or something.
As long as she wants to hang out in my garden and nibble on bugs she's welcome to it.
