I’m with you there.
Tomatoes and green beans blooming, Peppers a little behind and Hatch peppers still little as my seeds came late but they like it hot anyway. Love those dehydrated tomatoes they last all winter. -
Tarp, It looks like you must have some venison in the area for brining & grinding too! The deer used to jump over my garden fence like yours in Texas & walk to the very middle to eat swiss chard & sweet potatoes. They loved them & would jump right over the fence & touch nothing else. They like the water melons too.

Have you ever tried pickled turnips?
calldoctoday I made pickled kolarabi once, never turnips. Use them in pasties and oxtail soup though.

Well here is my finished weekend project.

YooperDog When I was in Architecture school a long time ago I used to take extra vegetables from our garden to the professors & folks at the school. The Librarian once asked me if I had ever tried them & I said no. She said when she went to Mexico on a vacation they sat them out on the table like chips here in the states & they were good. So, since we grew turnips pretty well in that garden, I said, what the heck & if I can pickle a pickle, then I suppose I can pickle a turnip too. So I did a good batch. We thought they were pretty good, but not everyone liked them. That was 35 years ago.

Tex_77 Tex, I am impressed! Let us know how it all grows.

calldoctoday do you slice them up or cube them? Sweet pickle? Sounds like a good side to munch on with a cervesa.

Tex_77 Does that unit break down for storage? Pretty nice looking gardening cabinet.

YooperDog If I remember correctly we did them Kosher style, but if I know myself, I might have tried a sweet jar or two. I also seem to recall slicing them, a little on the thick side & definitely did not cube them or make them too thin. I may have even done a sort of sweet Kosher. I do some pickles now called “Bob’s Dad’s Pickles” after a friend of mine’s dad. Both of his folks are in their mid 90’s & doing pretty well for themselves. He gave me a recipe that is sort of a sweet kosher & it is real good.

YooperDog The shelves do come out, but that is all. The design was from Bonnie Plants.

Tex_77 That is AWESOME man! I can’t have a garden because I live in a neighborhood with insane HOA rules but I bet I COULD do that and it would keep it safe from the coyotes and bunnies! Can you link me to the instructions or post how you made it?

Jonathon I can email you the instructions. I’m skilled carpenter so if I can build it, anyone can. I would suggest having a miter saw handy or you’ll be stuck using a speed square and circular saw, which I was.

Tex_77 Well that is a cool and easy ideal I think I’ll steal it for my wife to use for some of her stuff. Nice job.
