I've been eating quite a bit from my garden lately.
Coleslaw, collard greens, peas, romaine lettuce, salad bowl lettuce, cucumbers, strawberries, pickled beets, parsley, oregano.
Made pickled beets, I'm telling you, they are so delicious. 😋 Beets will be a regular for me every spring & fall.
I'm impressed with all this good homegrown food.
Tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, garlic, still growing, looking good.
😋
Last time I pickled beets I added too much vinegar. What's your recipe?
And, is this for hot water bathing or for refrigerator pickling? Thx!
Also, I have been asking about when to harvest my garlic. I took scapes from my Great Lakes porcelain garlic 2 weeks ago, scapes from my German Red Garlic yesterday.
Any advice as to when YOU harvest? Thx!

Salt honey with half and half of apple cider vinegar and distilled water with a touch of cayenne pepper and garlic. 😋

Sorry not a clue. My garlic has failed miserably
