The female Garden spider

Without notice til today,I have observed this female in preparing and feeding her nest
First observation was two weeks ago,she was as I now know,
At least 10 to 15ft from her nest, wrapping up a meal,first photo shows
Following her web design I was able to find three different locations she
Hunted in.thick weaven zigzag style about two maybe two half inch wide.
Preserving her catch's.I found her egg, sac when she was returning to care for the sac.
I guess from other predators.one extremely large brown almost pear shape egg suspended with multiple short webing.proving and they can control burst and length of web.
opening at the top was cover with her web.pictures are post in my naturalist.
Reading,I find she can lay up to 250 eggs per cycle.
Green and black abdomen,white shield like head,her legs appears in. Two
Colors, black and brown towards the body.front four extremely longer then the back
Sorry it ends with a wipe out of all.
