It is likely a typical garden spider, also known by its scientific name, Argiope. They tend to live in gardens or fields. I often find them in my tomatoes. They are an orb weaver, which means they weave the typical web you think of when you think of a spider web, like on Charlottes Web, only without the fancy grammar :) Females are generally much larger than males. They are harmless to humans, not so good for bugs though. They are very beautiful, but their size tends to give people the heebie-jeebies.
