Pickles

With the garden producing copious amounts of veggies,

I needed to get going on the preserving otherwise all the time, 

effort and money but into the garden would be wasted. 

I started with pickles. 

I've never made pickles.

And because I have yet to gather all my canning needs,

I went with a recipe for refrigerator garlic dill pickles

(if they taste good, I'll share the recipe).

I ended up with 4 quart jars and 3 pint jars.

We get to taste them on Thursday,

hopefully they're good or I wasted a lot of cucumbers

(though there are plenty more where they came from).

I also cut enough zucchini and squash to fill 7 quart freezer bags.

There's still an entire basket of squash and more in the garden. 

I see zucchini bread in my future.
