Cucumber season has come and gone. Cucumbers will always be my favorite food to grow. Today, I made 5 quarts of refrigerator pickles.
I’ve made over 50 quarts of pickles this summer- I’d say that’s pretty good! I have planted more, but I never have much faith in late season planting. The original plants are giving me the last of their fruits this week.
Once I see the plant is no longer producing, I’ll pull it up to give room for the ones I planted between them.
In all honesty, I don’t want another large crop of cucumbers. I just want enough to enjoy the rest of the summer- snacking or in salads.
Zucchini has slowed down as well. Okra is starting to grow more quickly. Peas are coming in and green beans are slowly coming in. Peppers are finally getting on board as well!
If you want this recipe, just go back a few posts. I’ve shared it.
