Ebony Jewelwing damselfly in bright sunshine

I'm cheating w/ my vegetable garden. After my brothers tilled it up, I went to a local nursery and bought plants that were already pretty big. Tonight I put in the last of the sweet corn. No problem about having them "Knee-high by the 4th of July" - they already are. I was confessing my guilty feelings about not growing my plants from seed to the librarian. She did have a good point - "We have such a short growing season here, to make sure things ripen you need to give them a head start." My neighbor also didn't seem to think putting in garden plants was a sin. However, I know that the only reason I put them in was so the garden would have something in it when my family arrives for a reunion. Maybe it's not the 8th commandment I'm breaking as much as the 10th.
