Garden Bounty

One advantage of being in the country is the ability to have a garden (if you want to do the work). Our garden has and is providing us with delicious food. Lettuce, spinach, cabbage, radishes, tomatoes, okra, corn, squash and peppers are what we have enjoyed. I have canned tomatoes to use in soup this winter and peppers to add zest to recipes; made cinnamon pickles and dill pickles; frozen corn, okra, and squash.
Hopefully our fall garden attempt will produce peas, green beans, more corn, tomatoes, peppers, spinach and lettuce.
One problem we are experiencing right now is the deer have found our okra and are eating the leaves off the stalks. They have nibbled on the pepper plants and now seem to be enjoying more of our garden. It may be that we see who wins out, the deer or us!!
