Pickles finally

I was ready to make these pickles yesterday, but found that none of my quart sized canning jars had wide mouths, so I headed to Walmart before dinner last night and got a few boxes.

Next job on the agenda is to clean, blanch and package the next batch of green beans for the freezer, and do some pre dinner veggie prep. The only gardening job I intend to do today is hand water the newly planted seeds before I head to the studio for the rest of the day.

Part of the day's harvest

The plan was to get a bit of studio time after morning chores, but when I did a quick garden stroll, I found out there was a lot to harvest. Here's a photo of some of the harvest. I also dug some early red potatoes which I didn't have room for in the photo; and there's more harvesting to do after dinner, when it cools down a bit. It's in the 90's now, time to clean, blanch and freeze some beans, unless some friends and neighbors read this and call me to save them some cucumbers, beans and cherry tomatoes.
