I made a batch of pickles yesterday.Three different kinds. Two were garlic dill. Recipes from the forum. Only the Bread and Butter have no garlic in them. I has a whole lot of garlic this year. Even with the mild winter it was a fantastic crop. Hope the canning process went well. total of 19 quarts and 6 pints. If I am here next year they canned well.

We need some rain

Not much has been going on in this year's garden. It seems everything is slow. We do have the usual summer squash and green beans. Even with watering it just doesn't seem to help. Jennifer took control of it this year. She planted a few different type of tomatoes which should be ripening soon. Looking forward to tasting some of those. Also for the first time she put in egg plant. Many flowers but no fruit as we type along here. Tobacco growth is not what I expected. It should go to a height of seven feet.
