And the berries and garlic look great. <br /><br />I sometimes wonder if the close quarters in airplanes makes it easier to catch something, hope you're both feeling better.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-24094518629801585872016-08-01T19:09:47.476-04:002016-08-01T19:09:47.476-04:00I never heard the bread and butter pickle story ei...I never heard the bread and butter pickle story either. You harvested some lovely artichokes. I tried to grow some once and they were destroyed by bugs.

I tried making B&B pickles a few years ago and decided to stick with dill pickles.

That was sort of my assumption about B&B pickles, but then, the thought of pickles and butter just doesn't seem to click.Eight Gate Farm NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877942009419912353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-56303364467250000432016-08-01T14:23:34.931-04:002016-08-01T14:23:34.931-04:00Thanks Michelle.

But here the ones in the store probably come from Mexico and can't realistically be fresh.Eight Gate Farm NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877942009419912353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-40273977482182441672016-08-01T14:22:13.470-04:002016-08-01T14:22:13.470-04:00Thanks, Dave.

Oh, another laugh today...whenever I hear "wait for it" I always think of that show "How I Met Your Mother". Had NO idea that's how they got their name and just assumed people ate them with bread and butter :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-33935656133560275842016-08-01T12:40:37.959-04:002016-08-01T12:40:37.959-04:00So that's where the name came from, I never kn...So that's where the name came from, I never knew and always thought Bread & Butter was a weird name for a pickle. Ooh, artichokes, love them but I'm fortunate to live near "the artichoke capital...." so I save garden space and buy them direct from the growers. It looks like your garden is in high gear now, so much good stuff.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-79743277051046930192016-08-01T12:33:01.819-04:002016-08-01T12:33:01.819-04:00I did not know the B&B pickle story either, an...I did not know the B&B pickle story either, and I have lived in the Midwest my whole life! They sure are popular here, and it was probably the only pickle I remember my mother making. I kinda like the Homemade Pickles name. At least you don't have to wonder what kind they are! And I can't imagine the garlic handles could do any harm. What a great photo they made!Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-14923231436423741602016-08-01T09:57:15.764-04:002016-08-01T09:57:15.764-04:00The bread and butter pickle story was news to me! ...The bread and butter pickle story was news to me! I always wondered why they were called that. I'm growing cukes in the greenhouse and they haven't pollinated at all so I have none (but still trying). I envy you your bunch of cukes.<br /><br />Nice of your MIL to take care of things in your absence and keep the harvests moving along. Hope you and TKG are feeling well soon!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.com
