I Relish The Day

My posts are lately far and few between but I don't seem to have or find the time to sit and write so much anymore.  Today I created and canned two types of relish from peppers and radishes from my garden.  And pickles some more okra from the garden.  Yes!  I am still harvesting okra in November!  Crazy, huh?  I created these recipes myself.  Here are photos of my radish relish, three pepper relish, and the pickled okra.  And I've included photos of various projects of the last few weeks.  Enjoy!
