Good afternoon to each of you,
It has been beautiful in the garden today..no rain for a couple weeks and I have been weeding and watering! There's something peaceful about pulling weeds, or maybe it's being able to put some area in order, that I need for my well being. It's as good as 4 hours in a gym to someone else...
so....today your basket has: tomatoes, (several different varieties), Kale, Swiss Chard, Cucumbers, Beans, Green Pepper, Yellow squash, Beets, Lettuce, Herbs: (lemon balm, chives, basil and rosemary)
Want to try something fast and easy? Give this recipe a try..........
Refrigerator Pickles
cucumbers,
vinegar,
salt,
dill seed
Slice cucumbers; place in bowl. Cover with a weak dilution of water, vinegar and salt. Dill seed and garlic can be added. Cover bowl and regrigerate. Pickles are ready to serve at your next meal. As cucumber slices disappear, slice more into the brine. Change brine every week or so.
Enjoy your food, and happy pickle making!
