Garden Planted

Thing 2 and I accomplished planting everything yesterday except the sweet potatoes which will get their own garden. We've got three varieties of tomatoes, okra, bell peppers, banana peppers, and cucumbers. We've got bean seeds and will give that an attempt as well.

Not your typical garden actually since a lot of the main crops have been left out such as onions, lettuce, potatoes, and staple foods like that. We'll plant garlic early this fall and harvest next year in summer.

We filled up the second garden and now only the third garden remains to be filled. We'll get that done this morning when she wakes up. Then we'll get the sweet potatoes planted in that as they apparently will invade your whole garden with the tubers.

The pickles are done today! Honestly they were done likely two days ago on Thursday. I decided to take the cap off one of the three jars and put a bit more vinegar into it as I didn't fill it up quite enough. There was about a quarter inch of pickle at the top that wasn't being pickled. I couldn't resist and ate one...and proceeded to eat the whole jar myself.

They have a tiny bit of spice on the backside of flavor as crushed red peppers were one of the spices used as per the recipe. Delicious though! I'd recommend making your own! They have that Claussen crunch, they taste clean and crisp. They were cheap to make after purchasing the spices, and they are darn tasty!
