some garden things

A tiny bug with warning colors. I don't think it's a wasp, though?
My cantaloupe definitely crossed with the zucchini. It will probably taste bad. Or at least bland. 
The cowpeas are thriving! It's lovely to see how healthy they are. In the same bed, barely noticeable, are the few bush green beans, their leaves sickly looking and wilted from whatever pest or disease gets them every year. Cowpeas are a win. So far, my family all likes eating them cooked as tender young 'beans'. And the few I miss when picking keep growing- there's several deep in the mass of plants dry and near to rattle now.
More tomatoes 
some picked early to ripen on the windowsill.
The cat sat with me on the garden bench.
