I am having trouble with sciatica the last couple days so I have a slow walk to show you today...

First, I was able to can some green relish earlier this week to use up some of the abundance of produce in our garden...

 This is so good, my friend Cheryl gave me the recipe...I always have a ton of green tomatoes and this year is no exception.

 It takes loads of peppers also though so we pretty much had to harvest all we had, I am waiting for them to come back now!

 I hate to show you my unruly tomato vines, they got ahead of me and I didn't prune/tie them as I should have...brings to mind that giant plant that eats people...hmmmm.

 This is a fun gourd vine...and you can see our bees in the background.  I am allergic to stings so I don't so any weeding back here.

 I like the angle of this picture because it looks like our sunflower reaches over the treeline :)

I adore sunflowers and this is a happy one!

Hoping to have our first sweet corn for supper tonight??!!

 We have been lucky with several pickings of green beans this year.

 Not sure what's going on here, I have a whole patch of milkweed but the caterpillars all want this one??!!

 My walking buddies, Buddy and Sam.

A view of the garden...I call the fence the rhino enclosure, it does do a good job of keeping the deer, raccoons, bunnies, and unruly lab puppies out.

Thanks for joining me on my walk this morning :)
