I'm hoping to grow enough pickling cucumbers to give it a try. Never did my own but I do love Claussen pickles a whole bunch!!!
Ask the missus if she'd be willing to share her recipe spuds. Nothing like a great pickle!
With the rising costs etc. we're looking into doing some canning this year. Haven't done any canning for 25 years. We're fortunate enough to have great farms around this area and I should be able buy veggies and fruit in bulk.

You just can't beat fresh fruit and veggies.

She is a bit under the weather for now,when she is more up to it I'll get it,the dills with garlic are my favorite.

Sounds great. Thanks. No big rush since it's going to be another 60 days or so for the cucumbers to be ripe and ready ;D

Sorry to hear that smoke :( Weather forecast for the next week is highs in the mid 90ºF with evenings in the low 60s. No rain in the forecast for probably the next 3-4 months ... Trying my best to not use the air conditioner $$$.
