I’ve been on a little bitty cucumber quest since last year when we tried to grow some little bitty cucumbers so I could make some little bitty pickles. It’s all right to be little bitty…. (I like that song.) Anyway! So last year I had to go out of town unexpectedly and the cucumbers got too big while I was gone. You gotta harvest the little bitties when it’s time or you’re sunk. Or not totally sunk, but there goes your sweet little Gherkin pickle dream. And sweet little Gherkins are my favorites.
I’m trying again this year.
In case you love sweet little bitty baby pickles, too, I posted the recipe from the BBB here: Sweet Gherkin Pickles.
You have any thwarted canning dreams you’re trying to make come true in your garden this year?
Need a BBB to go along with your pickles (or whatever you’re dreaming of)?

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
