Tex_77 Don’t forget the mint tea then too. You can do that spearmint fresh or freeze it, better yet dehydrate it. We do four different types.

Tex_77 good looking vertical garden. What a space saver. Congrats

cdavis Looks like you are on your way to a wonderful year.

The garden is coming along slowly. I finally have tomatoes on the vine on my Early Girl plant. The deer and rabbits are causing havoc this year. Most of my okra and about a half row of beans disappeared this week.

GWG8541 Great start on the growing and being a total giver to the wildlife community. I know, I know!!! Not exactly how you wanted the items extracted and used. You’re definitely on the right track.

bocephus I sure hope so.

GWG8541 - Wow this seems like a lot of progress so early, we just had snow 2 weeks ago in Denver area.

I’ve done them many ways quick pickles , fermented , etc. keep coming back to the way my uncle used to make them.
Kirby cukes
6c h2o
6c white vinegar
5Tbsp pickling salt
About a Tbsp of pickling spice
Tbsp sugar
Some dill fresh or freeze dried ~1tsp
About a head of garlic cloves smashed
Leave on counter for 3 days with loose lid then refrigerate And that’s it
Sometimes I’ll add hot pepper to spice it upEventually I’ll have to get a more precise recipe
Not sure how long they’re good for but they usually get eaten within a week.Need to find a good recipe for half sour pickles.
Surg Thank you for the recipe.

GWG8541 That looks really good. Yes, we have had the same issue with Okra this year, which is strange because normally nothing really bothers Okra. I have had to supplementally plant it twice now with also some new ones in pots to get them hardened off more, perhaps, before they are subject to the abuse.

mrobisr I think this did around 20 cukes. And probably could’ve fit maybe 10 more.
