Cucumbers in sesame oil. Very refreshing.

Making pickles was apparently a mongo success! Jamie, Normando, Pumpkin Lord James, Brian and I made 22 pints of pickles ranging from classic dill pickles to hamburger dills to spicy pickles to experimental spicy garlicy dill pickles. A wonderful GX-IV Urban Garden harvest jubilee!

We used fresh, homegrown cucumbers and dill. The 63 garden-fresh cucumbers weighed approximately 10 pounds.

There is a special jar earmarked for Christmas 2009.

We tested some hamburger dills at lunch on some grilled hamburgers and they were startlingly delicious. This is round one of pickle making. More to come in the coming weeks. Thanks Soil Prime!

This salad is a variation of the Too Hot Tamales' cucumber-tomato salad from their City Cuisine cookbook.

They call it Cucumber Falls, but I do not see any falling cucumbers. False advertising, if you ask me.

I took 4 cucumber plants from Donald - 2 healthy, 2 sad. The sad ones survived and are now growing (about to get CRAZY).

Thank you all for visiting and for your gracious and appreciated comments! I wish I could thank each of you personally.

Have a great day.
