Does anybody know what kind of spider this is?

That pic is only slightly larger than real life, btw. Spider is a good 2"
across.

He's camped in the middle of my brussels sprouts. Got a big web about a
foot and a half across. Looks like he's been eating well. My garden is in
Missouri, near Kansas City.

Nice one!
