I never really niticed the author until you named it. Too funny! Those pickles are to die for. I had to hide them in the cellarway or everyone would eat them all up. Thanks for the ideas on mint, I've never cooked an Indian meal maybe I'll google some recipes. <BR/><BR/>Nita and Amy, thanks so much for the kind words and Amy the bacon and onion sound good. All we need is some pigs and a milking cow and all the ingredients would be from the farm . <BR/><BR/>Yd's splitting and stacking wood is hard work but it is well worth it on a cold winter night! Thanks for the tag....I'll follow through!<BR/><BR/>Warren, thanks for stopping in my blog. I always dreaded zuchhini time but now that I've found this recipe I look forward to it! I am going to make some more tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Don, thanks for the garden compliments. John is the man!!<BR/>You will love the pickle recipe and so will all your friends and neighbors. I had to barder with mine the other night 1 1/2 c sugar for a jar of pickles. <BR/><BR/>Mandie, I wish I was better at tracking how much produce I get. I need better kitchen scale, I've been using John's fish scale.<BR/>Maine does get warm 80-90's at times but RARELY 100. <BR/><BR/>Thanks farm chick, I think I get a little too excited with pictures at times.<BR/>Lacy, I can't wait to get cukes and I am looking forward to seeing your blog when you are done with your revisions.Country Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04391306626662391336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-34249726675634882992008-07-23T15:14:00.000-04:002008-07-23T15:14:00.000-04:00Have I mentioned that I love your blog?

Ours is about half of that. We need to get busy. Of course I am sure it is a little colder there compared to here, tehe. Your garden is soooo wonderful!!! I am sooo impressed by it. I can't wait to hear how much you will get from it all. You sure have been a busy family. Does it get very hot there? We were 110 yesterday, YUCK! Too hot for me. I am longing for a cold night. Our airconditioner went out today, agghh!Mandiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229422170203133697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-89207752378725034082008-07-22T15:49:00.000-04:002008-07-22T15:49:00.000-04:00love this post! your place looks utopic.

Our zucchini is just starting to come in and I can't wait! I saw your recipe for Zucchini Pickles and I am definitely going to try that. Like most folks, we usually have too much zucchini and not enough ways to eat it all. Thanks!warrenhttp://www.myhomeamongthehills.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-21914841799480622322008-07-22T09:34:00.000-04:002008-07-22T09:34:00.000-04:00Kim, your garden is looking great! <BR/>Those zucchini pickles look very yummy. I will have to remember this recipe next year. I didn't plant any zucchini or squash this year. You are right, too bad our growing season is so short(same here in upstate NY). I'm usually itching to get in the garden and start planting by April but know that it's still too early.<BR/>We have been splitting wood like crazy these past few days. Those logs were already cut to length last year and early this year. Now it's splitting and stacking time.YD's a little bit of everything placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06976378557392639152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-44560823051444310432008-07-21T20:06:00.000-04:002008-07-21T20:06:00.000-04:00Everything looks so nice Kim. I really enjoy your photos. The zucchini looks so yummy. I like to saute half a pound of bacon, a big vidalia onion and 3 small zucchini all together. Add a dash of thyme for flavor. It's a wonderful summer side dish!Amy - "Twelve Acres"http://www.blogger.com/profile/12534106679136054532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-87457943670762956172008-07-21T13:45:00.000-04:002008-07-21T13:45:00.000-04:00wow, you guys have been busy!

So funny about the cold frame, I am in the process of trying to cull off unused wood from the addition that I can use to build one as well...just have to find windows. I guesss you and I must both be Elliot Coleman readers!<BR/><BR/>Also interestingly enough I called my grandmother in law who used to make squash pickles for me for my birthday to get the recipe because I love them and so does my dad! I read yours and it is the SAME recipe...we are sort of living some parallels here aren't we!<BR/><BR/>Mint: Well, I use it in cooking (mainely Indian dishes etc...), it is also really good with watermellon, and fruits. And, makes an excellent Mojito. But all that aside, have you looked online, just plug in cooking with mint, and you will come up with bunches of recipes! <BR/><BR/>happy gardening, I am so happy for your successes!PIEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07977441163521329916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-72312937335227048772008-07-20T23:11:00.000-04:002008-07-20T23:11:00.000-04:00Great looking garden, Kim!
