Pickles !!!

Thanks to my friend, Pat Borders, I have cucumbers and therefore I am making pickles. I made 8 pints of Bread and Butter Pickles over the weekend and 7 pints of dill pickles last night. 7 more pints are in the canner as I write this. These 7 will be mild since I ran out of dill seed and had to use dill weed instead. Actually, I'm not sure how they will turn out. I'm using a different recipe than the one I used before (though similar) and my pickle making skills aren't the best but hopefully they will at least be crisp.

I've started harvesting beans and the garlic is almost ready as are the onions. I also expect to start harvesting corn any day now. I'm going to try some tonight for supper. I've had a few red tomatoes but they were all damages but there are some pink ones out there now, so real soon now.

I've slowly been working on my quilt for the quilt along. I'm cutting the strips into smaller strips and am almost done. I expect to be sewing next week. More details on my Kudzu Kwilts blog along with my problems getting fabric for my GT quilt.
