I like crispy :> and the ones in the fridge last quite a while anyway.<br /><br />Cynthia, when mine are small they are pretty easy for me to get out, but once they get big, watch out. They are really hard to get out then.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-67991514138956867872009-06-30T02:56:16.942-04:002009-06-30T02:56:16.942-04:00I keep getting red clovers popping up everywhere. ...I keep getting red clovers popping up everywhere. It's weird cuz they keep managing to hop into different beds. Those whores lol.

We're already into the second jar. It worked out great, I was picking a pound of snap peas about every three to four days but couldn't eat them that quickly so into the pickle jars they went.<br /><br />The refrigerator pickles are more crisp than the ones that I've processed. Now that the peas are on their last gasp I think I'll get out my freezer pickle recipe for the insanely productive zucchini... <br /><br />I'm with you about the perfect temperature. Somewhere in the mid-70's is lovely.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-50060660331802135562009-06-29T12:32:30.608-04:002009-06-29T12:32:30.608-04:00Bangchik and Kakdah, thanks.

Our dining room window makes a great garden lookout.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-67318343064857780692009-06-29T12:24:56.995-04:002009-06-29T12:24:56.995-04:00I love the look of your garden ... and you looked ...I love the look of your garden ... and you looked very much absorbed in it.<br /><br />~ bangchikBangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-75998600032159437292009-06-29T12:20:57.783-04:002009-06-29T12:20:57.783-04:00Dan, The first taste test will come on July 4th. I...Dan, The first taste test will come on July 4th. I did some refrigerator (so uncooked) pickled veggies which are mostly snap peas just for that day. I'm wondering if the refrigerator ones and the canned ones will taste very different.<br /><br />Mrs. Darling, what a fun thing to do. I love seeing others gardens. I haven't done a tour of my garden since early June though. Maybe I will soon.<br /><br />Annie's Granny, Ah the one thing that I'm doing better at. LOL probably lettuce too. With all your heat I can't imagine you have lettuce still coming in. I guess if the weather is bad for one crop you get another crop that does well. I just wish I could order my weather. I'd pick weather in the 70s every day (heck I can grow just about anything I really love in the 70s. Sunny most days. Maybe every fourth day have a good rainfall overnight. :> I can dream.<br /><br />EG, I can't say I've ever eaten okra. I think it is one of those heat loving crops that we don't grow much up here. I do laugh though. You say that you aren't growing snap peas anymore because they just don't produce. Move up north ;> they will produce for you here.<br /><br />Stefaneener, no I really don't want the heat. I'd rather it be cool all summer long even if my corn won't produce anything. I do however want to see the sun again. I really miss it.<br /><br />our friend Ben, I figure people pickle other veggies. Why not indeed. I love all things pickled. Well not beets. You can't make me eat those no matter how they are prepared. I'm hoping for 70 degree summers which I think we are getting this week.

I hadn't heard of them, either, but why not? And I can't bear to pull my clover. Mow, yes, pull, no. Gee. Maybe I should pull up stakes and move up your way. 60-degree summers work for me!
