First canning of the season

I canned up about 8 pints of kosher dill pickles this evening. I'll open up one in about a month if I can wait that long. I love dill pickles and we'll can about 50 pints or so this year. I also sold some of my squash today. I sold about 8 lbs and in a day or two I'll have about 30 or so to pick again. I think 42 hills of 4 to 5 squash to a hill may have been a few to many.

    Those pickles look great! I watered my cukes this evening to try to induce them to get into high gear. Everything is mighty dry here.

    That is a LOT of squash! Better to have too much than too little though, I think.

    I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you I had to replace my modem and I've been so busy. But anyway I just use the Ball brand Kosher Dill pickle mix. My family and I love it.

    I still have a lot of squash. My cucumbers have just about stopped producing now. We didn't get any rain for a while and they haven't produce very well since even with all the recent rain we've received. It has got the squash going again.
