Daily Canning








Spices ready to go.

Jonathan starts packing the jars.












Cucumbers ready to go!

This year we are growing a new variety: Indian brown. They can get really bitter, so I tasted them and peeled the ones that needed it.
We are still growing Lemon cucumbers which never seem to need to be peeled.



















Finished pickles!
