I did not get a whole lot of cucumbers this year with the heirloom variety I selected but I have a lovely friend who brought me a whole bag of cucumbers from her garden! Sigh....I just love successful gardening friends!
So I have pickled,pickled and pickled some more! Not only cucumbers but a few other things too!
We have sweet relish, 8 day sweet pickles, bread and butter pickles, dill relish..I don't think I am happy with the dill relish but I will give it some time to "season"....yellow squash pickles and last but not least a hamburger dill pickles! Oh , I left out the pickled jalapenos! Those are like candy to us down here! Too bad I forgot to get those in the picture! Now let me see...what else can I pickle.......!!!

Oooh you have been busy. The hubby is having trouble getting our cucumbers to grow. It was such a wet spring that he is, I think, on his fourth planting.
I hope they come in 'cause I am about out of pickles and relish.
Perish the thought!
You did all that this past week? Ambitious! Looks good too! Never heard of pickled yellow squash. I guess you can pickle most anything, huh? I suppose the saying should be "make pickles when the sun shines (too much)"
Girl, we have been pickling too. What a great variety you have. Love it.
OK, you can stop now....you're making me drool! They look delicious. 8 day pickle? I've heard of the 3 day one m-m-m.
Here is what I pickled. PINEAPPLE!

I remember one year my mom pickled bell peppers stuffed with cabbage. That's about the weirdest.
Thanks for your kind words and your suggestion! The next time I can something, I will use the canner to heat the jars!
I like pickled cauliflower, so I may try some of that next time. :)
Okay, your pickles are so beautiful and snug in their shinny glass jars. You must have a wonderful sense of accomplishment!
Stay cool.
pickled jalapeno candy? Yes, you are definitely meant to be in Texas.
Everything looks great. You will be enjoying all this during the winter months!!!
I had never heard of pickled yellow squash.
I'm gonna look up yellow-squash pickles, sounds great. Gardens are just now blooming around here, so we haven't gotten any goodies yet but soon.
YUMMMMINESSS!!!! You have been very busy with the canner... I am at it again today myself :O)...
Oh, those look delicious!! It's been a strange summer weather-wise. It goes from super hot and sticky to torrential rains that cause flooding. Now it is chilly and we all have sweatshirts on! I'm curious to see what my garden is gonna do with this madness.
Those looks delicious, now I am in the mood for pickles! Don't feel bad about your cucumbers, I did not even get a garden in this year and I am so regretting it now!
I am not Canadian, I just like to wish the Canadian blogger friends a happy day. It is much like our fourth of July for the Canadians. :)
