5 cookies. ah ah ah aaaahh

Ok fine, this isn't Sesame Street and the Count didn't count 5 cookies. But this IS my backyard and I did count 5 squash seedlings this morning. 2 more came up yesterday during the beginning of our heatwave. We are now in day 2 of the heatwave - everyone (meaning my garden) survived day 1 beautifully but today promised to be hotter, longer. So I put a lawn chair over the top of one of my tomato seedlings that looks the worse, to avoid that direct sunlight. The other two look strong so I left them to fend for themselves. We'll see how it goes when I get home this evening.

Meanwhile something is chewing on my squash seedlings, my cotton and my basil. I've found some little spider webs but nothing else in site, so I'm not sure what it is. Ants?
