Awesome that you have that beautiful garden. Onions must be a luxury with the strike going on, glad you are dong so well. Had some bananas I bought the other day from Ecuador, made me think of you down there. Glad things are going well, I know nothing about spiders down there, you may want to google them to make sure they aren't venomous. I know the Brazilian Wandering Spider lives around there but prefers banana trees. I know farther down in South America we only had to watch out for the "corner spider" which is a relative of the black widow. Jungle spiders are whole different thing, and they move into cities as the cities move into the jungles. Funny how that works!
Take care, I hope Lily is doing well and your bakery is having good sales!

Funny enough, we didn't have any bananas during the strike - the roads to the nearby valley where they grow were blocked, too 😅
I honestly have no idea about spiders here. In the sierra, I think the most venomous animal is a scorpion, and it's not much more than the sting of a hornet. I once stepped on one, barefoot - but it didn't even sting me. Nice little fellow. I brought him outside very carefully. Didn't hurt me, so I didn't hurt him. Far away from the garden though, as childrens play there.
Glad it didn't sting you. They have a hard time stinging through skin fortunately. Good of you to save it by moving it safely outdoors! I would google some of those spiders to be safe, most are non venomous for sure. But there are some you need to be careful with as they may bite if accidentally provoked.
The only aggressive species we have in the US these days is the hobo spider that came from England. Instead of retreating it will attack you and likes to hide among boxes. I wear gloves when moving boxes now! lol
