Pickling Cucumbers

After I begged and annoyed Josh for a whole year, he finally gave in and gave me what I had always been dreaming of....

A GARDEN!

Wahoo-  It's actually really small and we planted roma tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, banana peppers and watermelon.

If you would see my backyard now, it's 1/2 covered in watermelon vine.  It looks like a forest got sick in my lawn. 

I seriously don't think that my garden could hold the watermelon by itself let alone the cucumbers, tomatoes, and two kinds of peppers.

Whoopsie.  I guess lesson learned and we will note that for next years garden!

But, we did get LOTS of cucumbers!  Thankfully, Josh and I both love them.  We also love pickles.  So, we decided to give at home canning a shot. 

The first batch of pickles were ready this past Sunday and they are GOOD!!

Nom. Nom. Nom.!

What's your favorite fresh garden vegetable?

Do you like canning?
