Cucumbers and Zucchini

I sliced up yet more cucumbers for another batch of 3-day pickles. 
 
I also canned 2 more jars of zucchini relish (Thank you Candy!  We love your recipe).  Our green peppers are coming in fast with all this rain.  However, the rain is killing off a few zucchini plants and cucumbers.

I picked 2 nice sized Kohlrabi, which will make another nice garden Frittata.

Pickle Party!

We grilled burgers and had a pickle party to taste all 3 different pickles I canned.  We also have Fridge Pickles in the fridge.  We all know what those taste like, so we popped the tops of 3 cans.  Although, I did tell the family the pickles should really sit for a week, so the spices can do their work.  we opened them anyway.
