Just another busy summer

Every year goes by when I say My garden has to grow bigger than last year. The reason is always that my pickles goes faster than what I can keep. I did not know that my home made pickles where very good and till this last year when I had to buy some in the store. I started out pickleing because where I worked nobody bought any thing I grew they where witing for it to be FREE. Now I sell my pickles and I just can not make enough of them to keep. This picture is my Bread and butter home made pickles about 24 quarts. The next picture is that skid steer loader that I am makeing progress on. I think you know what I am saying a cash only project ( no criedit cards spent on it). I am hopeing to have it done this summer (I Hope if evrey thing goes well) I get these little set backs from my daddys to do list that comes my way (Like a good son I go drive up to his house and I do them). I think we all have these summers that like always get a ton of work to do and no time to take it easy. My coworker have an easy life all they do is watch T.V. and seat on a coach. I am glad I am not them.

My wife, kids and myself usually make 40-60 quarts of lime pickle every year. I use to grow the cucumbers but have been buying them for the last several years. When growing it seems I was making pickles every weekend for a month, but now buying cucumbers I can get it all done in a weekend and pay less than $40 for the cucumbers.
 
Pickles look great! Do you ever throw a little crushed red pepper in to make them spicy? I like spicy sweet or dill type pickles.

Pic of the pickup would fun to see.
 
Nice pickles. My favorite are Bread and butter. You must have started your cucumbers fairly early. My are about a inch or less long. I have a good crop growing, along with a dill crop. My wife makes a lot of pickles and sells them. Stan
 
we found the same results with the farm garden- she planted it and expected me to control all the weeds, then wanted all ready on the same day, but not until she had time and the weather was good (city girl, can't ya tell). Now we just buy tomatoes or pickles from the neighbors, and she cans when she wants. I planted hay in the old garden this year!

Try a little horseradish in with the pickles, mmmmmm.
