Spiders are a garden's best friend?
Here's a great article all about spiders in the garden. https://www.growjourney.com/garden-spiders-beneficial/#.Xupx2Dl7lVc
I know all this stuff, but, there is still nothing in this world that sends a literal shiver up my spine than spiders.
Though I have to say, after last year of dealing with so. many. insect. eating the plants, this year when I see spiders in the garden I consciously tell myself that it's a good thing, and I don't relocate the spider webs unless they're in a particularly bad spot like across a path.
Also, I thank orienteering for getting me mostly over my fear/hatred of walking through webs. I used to absolutely hate when this would happen, but now it's happened so much while orienteering that it's not such a big deal... as long as I never have to see the actual spider who made the web!
