Pickled!

Our friend Hugh keeps giving me cucumber from the greenhouse, so I thought I'd try pickling it this year - something I've never done. I'm hoping it'll be tasty!

Got dad out of hospital last night, so that's good. He does have to go back in a fortnight's time which is not so good, but one step at a time!

First of September. Where has summer gone?!

Not a pickle fan, but I love the image and my hubby would eat it like a shot! Glad your dad is home, though sorry he has to go back. Hopefully shortlived and all will be much better soon.

I'm sure your pickles will be tasty. Best wishes to your dad.

I imagine home pickled cucumber will be a welcome change for your father after hospital fare. Hope he mends well before his return trip.

Very attractive jars, almost too pretty to eat! Good news of dad...home is the best place to recuperate! Looks like you have the same kitchen counter top as me...a sort of blotchy brown & cream granite...I love mine it shows no bits!

Enjoy your pickles. A nice way to save the cukes and to savor summer's flavor a little longer.
