how does your garden grow?

[Blindgreed1]

There's a guy at the flea market here that makes his own pickles in big barrels, he has about thirty different kinds. My favorites are the ghost pepper and the ranchero. That's the only reason I ever go to the flea market.

He has olives and pickled peppers too. Next time I'm there I'm going to mention to him that he should do pickled okra.

Easily one of my favorites. Especially if they're good and hot and about the size of your pinky finger. When I buy pickled cucumbers, I buy them by the gallon and dump a few tablespoons of red pepper, about 3 cloves of garlic (finely chopped) and a fresh jalapeno (cut in half) into the brine and let them sit for at least a week in the fridge. I got some yesterday and also added a few sprigs of fresh dill since we have about 3 lbs of it. It won't do much for the flavor but it's kinda pretty to look at.
