Needle Tatting

Last winter I attempted to teach myself how to tat.  Just as I did with knitting, I bought a "how to" kit to start, and hated it.  So, I went to the local craft store and purchased my very own tatting needles.

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.
