time to pick cucumbers and make pickles

Every year about this time,

my wife gets into the pickle making mode.

This year was tough on getting good stand of cucumbers.

We planted three different times

as each time we planted,

it seem to flood and drown the plants.

++++++++

Once we get plenty of cucumbers for pickles,

we will put out a sign for

“free cucumbers”.

After collecting cucumbers.

they are washed.

++++

Then the jars are washed.

+++++

The cucumbers are stuffed into pint jars.

Then she adds Dill, Garlic and Pickling Salt

plus other ingredients.

++++

About every ten days the jars are

turned over.

+++++

She will make around 300 jars of  pickles

which will include ‘bread n butter’, hot dill

and regular dill.

AND SHE GIVES ALL OF THEM TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
