Cucumbers

My favorite time of year!  Cucumber season!

This is my favorite variety, Russian pickling

As always, I have far too many cucumber plants out there in the garden.  Last year, I was picking about a quarter bushel a day.

My favorite dill slice recipe comes from Summer in a Jar, a lovely vintage cookbook for canning in single jar batches.  This book also has the best dilly bean recipe, featured in Mother Earth News.

I can't wait for the cucumbers to really start coming in!  I should probably stitch one of these for my kitchen:
