Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Spiders....well one answer is that we humans attract a lot of flying insects. Two we create in our gardens excellent spider habitat. They are probably a common garden spider and they will consume alot of flies and other unwanted bugs. I wouldn't worry until you start finding the neighborhood kids or the mail person in the webs.

I wake up daily to Halloween-ish webs along the stairs to my house and all over the bushes.  I believe the spiders are large and brownish.  Any ideas what type of spider they might be (they are currently hiding under my siding) and if I need/want them and why?

I started growing peaches recently. As far as I know, it is normal for
peaches to drop up to 80% of its fruit as a natural process.
