Little Garden Helper



I had a little extra help tonight in my garden.

Whatcha doing? Can I help?

   

I think these peppers are ready to pick.

And those tomato's need some water

These Zinnia's would like so lovely on the dining room table.

I think you missed a few weeds

You really missed a few weeds!

Are you sure this is a carrot? Tastes woody.

All this hard work is making me thirsty.

Im just gonna take a little nap....

Time for a break, so we can watch the sunset together

Now just a bath and Im all ready to do it again tommorow.

Gardening is so much fun with you...Now where did you plant that catnip?

Sweet Dill Pickles

I have been wanting to try canning pickles this year. Not just any pickles but pickles made in my 5 gallon crock that will take days and lots of work. Unfortunately the cucumber beetles have a different plan for me and my dream of homemade pickles. I have been fighting them all summer and they are winning. :( Since I only use organic ways of gardening this has become a big problem for me.I am down to about 3 plants out of about 30. I decided today to replant some more in a "secret" location. Fingers crossed they dont find my new plants and that I will hopefully be making pickles this fall. I tried this recipe over the weekend to tide me over til then. They were very easy and very good. Give them a try. Almost like candy!
