We're having a cold May .... but here in Oklahoma, that's killing tornado season. May is our worst month for tornadoes and I'm not complaining about the cold at all.
Yep it's a frosty AM here and we have a freeze warning for the weekend as well. The weather people say we're in for a polar vortex. So we have Corona, Murder Hornets and Polar Vortex. What's next?
We just grow a few herbs in our backyard. Dang squirrels and rabbits would make everything else impossible.

Recipe?My peppers are really going well, with some Anaheims already harvested, Poblanos/Jalapenos producing lots of fruit, and my tomatoes are doing great (maybe 4 weeks from first ripe fruit.) However, the most important thing.....? PICKLES!

That was the first batch.....have made three more since. Just "refrigerator" pickles, but MAN are they good!

Hey, Steve. I started with THIS RECIPE, and have since increased the amount of dill (I like a lot of dill flavor in my dill pickles), vinegar (I use 2.25 cups vinegar to 4 cups water), and garlic. I also make sure the brine is cool before pouring over the cucumbers, as this contributes to a crispier pickle. You can reuse the brine for at least two batches.Recipe?
