Yesterday morning it was foggy when I took an early stroll to check the garden after being gone a few days. I was confronted face to face with a small green hummer several times ...

...seemed to be trying to chase me from the garden and it's breakfast of red flowering salvia

There was plenty of produce needing to be picked , the cabbage couldn't wait it just split.

The sunflowers are towering over the garden
the bees are very happy and the goldfinches visit every morning to check for ripe seed

This one right next to the entrance post has not topped out yet and is almost 14 feet

The pink/red flowered strawberries are filling in the pot nicely AND producing one tasty berry every day
