| My son, Elliott opened a quart of the pickles tonight to try them, and this is what's left :-) |
Are these cucumbers and strawberries from this season? We still have snow on the ground up here so I'm drooling over your pics! Mary
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary!
ReplyDeleteI did a wedding for 300, and this was produce I had left over from the vegetable trays and fruit table. I purchased them at the local grocery store. They were not as good as fresh, but I work with what is available. I can't wait to get my garden going. I have seedlings started, so it won't be long now :-) I'm in SC so I think we are past the frost and freeze days now... knock on wood!!!
Those carrots look fantastic! I can totally see my family digging on them!
