Thanks, Susan — and hello! I have had my eye on some freezer-pickle recipes lately, so I am glad you mentioned it. Sort of refrigerator pickles in suspended animation… :)

Cucumbers have been coming for several weeks. I have many containers of freezer pickles already done. Now its on to canning dills and sweet pickles. What a labor of love since I don’t even like pickles.I just found a product called pickle crisp which is supposed to be used instead of lime to keep them crisp like the store bought. I’ll let you know how it works.

Welcome, Welltraveled. Sounds like you are finding great joy in your, er, gardening (well, at least in your beetlecide). Me, too, but my fish don’t seem to assist; will have to inquire what’s up with that. See you soon again.
