Harvest Monday, July 5

I am a little late on my harvest monday post! Almost 1.5 hours away from Tuesday ;) None the less, better late than never....and I hope I am remembering most of the weeks harvest! It was a busy past week over here.

My Cucs are coming along and I picked these beauties clocking in at 2.213 pounds. I made a new fridge pickel recipe with them and they were a hit on 4th of July! Now if only I can remember what all I put in the recipe ;)

Our broccoli has been producing like wildfire and I am just about broccoli'ed out ;) This week we harvested almost one pound, clocking in at .818 of a pound. I think maybe there was a little more picked one day that I forgot to weigh in.

Our carrots are not done yet, but I couldn't help picking some ;) I pick some and hand them over to the horses for a sweet treat from time to time and this past week, I picked these to roast with our broccoli. These beauties weighed in at 2.61 ounces.

And, the Mammoth Snow Peas that I recieved seed from Daphne on are finally coming in! I was worried I planted them too late and wouldn't have a harvest. We have been picking and eating off the vine all week while we were in the yard, but this batch I was able to weigh; they clocked in at 2.50 ounces and they are super delish!

Have a great week!

Refrigerator Pickels

I bought these cucs at a local farmers market last weekend with the intention of making fridge pickels with them....and I did! I used this recipe and made a few minor adjustments ;)

I used fresh dill because I have it growing out my ears. Dill should be the new Zucchini ;)

And I didn't have any coriander either!

But regardless, they turned out delicious! I am not big on sweet things, and though this calls for minimal sugar, I might even cut it back a tad more for my tastes! And, add about triple the garlic!
