Those are definitely more than flowers! What else are you growing this year?
And enjoy the vodka cranberries!
I only grew the tomatoes last year, but added jalapeños. So far only one outside and it hasn't produced shit yet. Neither have the ones inside. Maybe next year I'll add pickling cucumbers!
Pickling cucumbers sounds like an excellent choice. Have you ever tried pickled green beans?
Yeah, as a kid I must have, given a core memory is sitting next to a bathtub FILLED with green beans and snapping of both ends and then mom and dad removing them.
They must have been made into pickled green beans, I just don't remember the taste at all!
I only got my electric pressure canner last holidays, so after any harvest, so tomatoes it was since those can be water bath canned!
Growing up in Russia, I ate pickled cucumbers as well as pickled tomatoes and even apples. Although I think the more accurate term is brined because the solution contained no vinegar. They were delicious! I bet radishes would be good pickled too.
