"This is a perfect way to personalize the Baby Wish Cards with your future baby's name, etc. I was also able to include a pic of the sonogram on back and also include a pic of the parents. It's so sweet!"
"I think that the invites are easy to design and order. The finished product came out nicely with the exception of the back side picture that was printed. It looked like the roller was running out of ink and was streaking."
"LOVED that they had this design since we're having a girl, AND it's my Birthday on Superbowl Sunday this 2014 year! HOWEVER....I ordered 50 and they only sent 40 envelopes....so of course, I find out now when I've got 40 ready to mail out and now I need 10 more envelopes. I didn't notice initially that they offered a rectangular design option (to save on stamps since the square design costs $0.66 to send). Overall, I am happy with my design and purchase."
"This card was perfect. We were on a budget for this shower and even though this was the lowest priced card, the quality was amazing. The design is adorable and perfect for our low-key affair. I was able to personalize it to exactly what I wanted it to say. The shipment was delivered in a timely manner. All in all, I give this product and this company 5 stars!!"
"The quality of the paper and printing were good. Our picture on the back came out great. Simple and pretty. The product came sooner than anticipated. I was extremely grateful for that."

Emerge Spa & Salon
Newbury Street's Emerge spa has established itself as the go-to place for relaxation. Think flat-screen TV's in the Men's Club, a fireside lounge and a roof deck, and treatments like the Thalasso Kur: a body wrap, mineral bath, and massage.
Congratulations to Mei Lin, winner of Top Chef Season 12.

8th Annual Billerica Plant Swap, On Again This Year
Hello All,
Yes we are back on to have the annual swap again this year. Sorry the post is a bit late getting started, but here it is.
The plant swap is held in Billerica MA, but eveyone is welcome to attend, regardless of where you live.
â¨All are welcome with or without any plants or seedlings to swap. There will be plenty of seedlings just for the taking. Annuals, perennials, flower seedlings, tomato seedlings, veggie seedlings, plant divisions, as well as anything that is related to gardening, seed sowing etc.
So don't be afraid to come because this year you are new to gardening and have nothing to bring. We will be glad to solve your problem and fill up those new garden beds for you
Remember, you don't have to just live in the Billerica or surrounding area. You are more than welcome to come even if you live in a surrounding town or much further away.
For those of you that are new to plant swaps or have never attended my plant swap, we get together on a Saturday and swap our seedlings and plant divisions with each other. â¨Everyone brings something with them, goodies to eat, cold drinks, hot drinks, plates, napkins etc.
This is a very informal get together, I'm one of those informal people, like simple gatherings and just enjoy ourselves.
I set no basic rules for swapping plants, seedlings, divisions. Bring what you have to swap, set them up and each person sets their own "rules" if they want to.
If someone wants to do things differently for "their" plants, seedlings etc. that's fine with me.
â¨I just put out my seedlings for anyone to take and in the past most have done the same.
I like to see my seedlings and plant divisions go to anyone that wants them and not have to replant anything that is left.
Looking forward to seeing old faces (not age, those that have come before) and meeting new gardeners who want to join us, fill up their garden beds and just get together and with other gardeners and have a good time.
So here is the basic information and any ideas to add, just toss them out.
At least for me, it's to early to know what I will and will not have for the swap. As time gets closer I will post what I will have and others can do the same.
I don't have any problems with people asking if anyone wants a particular division of plants or requests specific seedlings that will be available. â¨I would rather know that someone wants a division before I dig it out than to waste time doing so and have to replant.
DATE: Saturday June 7, 2014
RAIN DATE: Sunday June 8, 2014
TIME: 10AM until everyone wants to leave
LOCATION: Billerica MA. I will e-mail address and directions the week of the swap to all who are planning to attend.
Daffodil33, looking forward to meeting you.
I'd love one of those aloe vera babies, and I'm sure some others would as well.
Stuffed phyllo triangles. Just thinking about them makes me hungry for them, bring on the basil plants. Heidi and I will be glad to take a couple of them for you.
Seedlings are growing but this crazy weather has everything going slow.
I know I will have plenty of forsythia stems that can be rooted quickly if anyone is interested.
Hi Calvin,
You are more than welcome to come to the swap. Looking forward to meeting you.
Will have some lily of the valley potted up for the swap. they love shade, though mine are growing in an area that gets some partial sone and do well there.
They are spreaders so it's best to plant them in "their own bed" where they can take off on their own and not get in the way of other plants.
Seedlings are growing, but not sure yet what will and will not be ready for the swap. will list more soon.
Several people have emailed me that will be attending the swap next week.
the following plants will be for anyone to take
plenty of lily of the valley
siberian blue dianthus
oxeye daisy
orange daylillies
double orange daylilies
seedlings of the following
rose campion
balsam impatiens lavender
balsam impatiens dark pink
nicandra splash of cream
danberg lace poppy
floxglove mix of lavender, white and fushia. these are perennials
breadseed poppy.
if any interest, the following can be dug up
crane's bill geranium pink, perennial
lemon balm
Kathy, you always find a way to dig up plants for the swap. How you do it, I don't know.
Calvin, my list of plants and seedlings are for the taking. no need to wait till the end of the swap to have any of them.
potted up and dug up the following for the swap
perennial foxglove mixed colors of lavender, white and fushia
perennial foxglove white
balsam impatiens lavender
balsam impatiens dk pink
nicandra splash of cream
malva zebrina
rose campion
bread seed poppy. no idea what color they will be. the seeds where from a store purchase of poppy seeds for cooking. what I could find out was if they germinate the flower colors will probably be either all white or white with splashes of lavender. will be an interesting experiment to see what does bloom
have dug up tons of lily of the valley
still have to dig up the daylillies
Now for the swap info
First off, PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING SOMETHING TO TAKE YOUR PLANTS AND SEEDLINGS HOME IN. I DON'T HAVE ANY TRAYS OR CONTAINERS THAT I CAN GIVE YOU TO CARRY THEM.
I have a table for any food that is coming,
at least 8 chairs for those to who want to sit down.
I will have a cooler for ice and to keep any cold drinks in
I will provide a "jug of Joe" from dunkin donuts and all the fixins to go with it and some munchkins as well
I will have some plates, napkins and plastic utensils to use as well.
Agnes is bringing her "famous stuffed phyllo triangles"
Can someone bring some ice/cold drinks.
Calvin emailed that he would bring something for snacks
and daffodil33 is bringing some snacks and another gardener with her.
there are several other people coming that haven't posted on the thread.
Anyone that wants to come, please email me from my member page for address and directions to the swap and if possible post on the thread.
Looking forward to seeing everyone "old" and meeting new people on Saturday.
and it still looks like we will have good weather too.
Thanks Clavin.
I have 3 coolers we can use. Will have them outside and can decide which ones to use when you get here on Sat.
Can you add some cups for the soda if you are bringing 1 or 2 liter bottles?
edited to add about the cups

Fran, I just saw this thread and am going to try to come. Would you please email me the directions? I would love some Cranesbill geraniums and Lily of the valley ... maybe some other things as I have lots of space to fill.
I could bring oenothera (evening primrose), lady's mantle and iris if anyone wants these.
I can also bring extra pots and trays.
Hi Pankaj,
sent you an email about directions. cranesbill geranium will be dug in in the morning for you.
What kind of Iris do you have, what colors are they?
Don't know what other's will want in plants but if you want to dig up some of yours for the swap, that would be great.
the extra pots and trays would be good for potting up plants.
daffodil33 bring the aloe baby with you. don't know about the bugleweed though.
Hi Fran,
Thanks for the directions.
I don't know what colors the iris will be ... I have white, yellow and blue irises, but these are plants that grew up in my leaf pile so I'm not sure which rhizomes got dug up and thrown in there. My guess is they will be the blue ones, but I can't be sure. I will bring a few bunches for people willing to give them a try.
I've added a photo of some of the white and yellow irises that are already in bloom ... the blue ones are budding but not yet open.
By the way, I was looking at your list again and noticed the mention of lemon balm ... I would love one of those to add to my herb garden. Thanks so much.
Looking forward to meeting folks tomorrow,
I also noticed a bunch of tiny seedlings under my kousa dogwood (see photo). I could pot up a few of those if people are interested ... but you will need to be patient; these literally just have the seed leaves and then the first two true leaves on them :)
Everyone, don't forget that if you have any garden related items, that aren't plants, seedlings you are more than welcome to bring them to the swap and see if anyone would like them.
Things like
garden magazines,
plant books,
fancy pots
plastic pots
plant stakes
fancy plant containers
anything plant related or close to plant related is welcome
Also indoor plants are more than welcome as well.
See everyone in the morning.
Thanks, Fran (and Mike), for hosting the swap ... what a great idea and it is so generous of you to do it. And thanks to you and Lisa for the plants I took home.
I finally came back in the house at 8 pm after planting all afternoon. I realized after I had done it that maybe I shouldn't have put the little seedlings out yet (the tiny ones in the styrofoam cups) ... I hope they make it. I'll make sure not to let them dry out .... any other tips? I was actually wondering if I should dig them back up and bring them inside again for a while till they get a little bigger.
I'll post pictures in a few days once the plants get established. I hope others do too ... I'd love to see how my "babies" turn out. Like, what color are the irises I brought?
Did anybody else realize the weird thing ... the only three guys who came to the swap (not counting Mike since he didn't "come" ... he was already there) were of Indian origin? Weird.
My best to all,
This post was edited by PankajT on Sun, Jun 8, 14 at 11:39
Hey folks!
Thanks Fran and Mike for hosting this, and thank you to everyone who brought plants. Really appreciate all the plants and advice we got on Saturday, and it was really nice to meet all of you. We were struck by how welcoming you all were, and we won't forget it!
We've got most of the plants in the ground, and they look great too. Thanks again folks.
Calvin & Hayley
PS: @Pankaj - you're right, that was weird, haha!

Frog has a questian for the Gardeners?
Frogs questian
No Frog; they smell the same whether you know the name or not.
I'll let you in on a secret though. Flowers do seem to smell better, and appear to be more beautiful, when I poke around in the gardens and see some of your kith and kin lounging under the foliage.
I've recently installed two "Toad Abodes," (or would that be "Frog Flats"?) in the north garden to help keep some of your cousins cool and damp. One is a homemade affair, the result of a cracked clay pot; the other is a fancy-schmancy English Cottage Garden-style "Hop-a-long Inn" direct from Ye Olde Thrift Shop
Don't tell anyone, but it set me back 25-cents. Do you know how many Junebugs that would cover?
URGENT Message: Frog, drop what you're doin' and go to Google. There's a kayaking game going on and... lots of frogs along the stream are getting hit! Gulp! You need to go there and save them out. Bring a first aid kit! Hurry!!!
Here is a link that might be useful: Kayaking game on Google

"American Idol" 2014 will not have a Top 24 after Hollywood and Las Vegas rounds, as seen in previous seasons. According to a blogger, the Fox contest will have a Top 31 this year. The same blogger released spoilers on the results of the pre-live shows. Take a look into the names and see if your favourites made it. Take the list with a pinch of salt, though. It may be partially or entirely wrong all together.
Spoiler alert: This feature may contain major spoilers on American Idol Season 13. On the other hand, the cited source may have been wrong.
The purported list of Top 15 Females on American Idol 2014 Season 13 include some remarkable voices from this year's Idol auditions. TheIdolPad.net does not specify its source, but hints its list is from some tipster.
Andrina Brogden, Austin Wolfe, Brandy Neelly, Bria Anai Johnson, Briana Oakley, Emily Piriz, Jena Irene, Jessica "Jess" Meuse, Jillian "Jill" Jensen, Kenzie Hall, Kristen O'Connor, M.K. Nobilette, Majesty York, Malaya Watson, and Marrialle Sellars make up the Top 15 female Idol hopefuls, according to TheIdolPad. Are you convinced, or are some names suspiciously excluded?
Andrina, for instance, did not impress Harry Connick, Jr during her Omaha audition. Austin, however, is a believable Top 24 or 31 inclusion. She did a good job covering Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" in Salt Lake City.
For fans of the quirky Malaya Watson, here is a Fox video clip on YouTube:
Repeater Briana Oakley is also a convincing Top 24 or 31 on American Idol. Still, without verified sources, Idol viewers better take the "leaked" Top 31 lightly. Others may, just for fun, observe the contestants on next week's Hollywood rounds.
Alex Preston, Ben Briley, Briston Maroney, C.J. Harris, Caleb Johnson, Casey Thrasher, Dexter Roberts, Emmanuel Zidor, Ethan Harris, George Lovett Hamilton, Jordan Brisbane, Malcolm Allen, Maurice Townsend, Neco Starr, Sam Woolf, and Spencer Lloyd supposedly make up the Top 16 male Idol hopefuls, reports TheIdolPad.
Watch Spencer Lloyd tackle a Colton Dixon track in this American Idol Fox clip on YouTube:
Watch Sam Woolf sing an Ed Sheeran single in this American Idol Fox clip on YouTube:
If these two guys really made it into the Top 24 or 31 of American Idol 2014, the voting block will be once again dominated by teens and tweens.
American Idol 2014 airs on Fox on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Season 13 judges are Australian country musician Keith Urban, pop diva Jennifer Lopez, and standards modern icon, Harry Connick, Jr.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
03 Dec 2012 12:29 GMT | Politics, Africa, US & Canada, Niger, Nigeria
Two heavy explosions have rocked two different northern Nigerian cities frequently targeted by deadly attacks blamed on Boko Haram, residents say.
It was not yet clear if there were any deaths linked to Monday's explosions in Kano, the largest city in Nigeria's north, and Maiduguri, a northeastern city.
Borno state, where Maiduguri is located, has been the epicentre of a violent campaign by Boko Haram, which is fighting Western influence and wants to form an Islamic state in Nigeria's north.
A blast outside a mosque near Kano's main textile market went off around 8:30am in an area where traffic police were stationed, residents said.
The area was later cordoned off by troops and policemen, an AFP news agency reporter saw.
"We just heard a loud explosion followed by billows of smoke and we realised that the traffic police that rest near the mosque and take turns in manning the traffic were the target," said a resident who lives in the area.
Residents of Maiduguri reported a huge explosion but could not provide any details.
"There was a very heavy explosion this morning that shook the entire city," a resident said.
'Slaughtered like sheep'
The blasts came after suspected Boko Haram members killed 10 Christians in a village called Chibok, in a remote part of Borno, on Sunday.
"Suspected Boko Haram came at night and set people's houses on fire before killing their victims," said Nuhu Clark, a former councillor of the village who escaped the attack.
A local government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said "the attackers came in around 9pm chanting 'Allahu Akbar', which made us suspect they are Boko Haram. They moved into selected homes in the predominantly Christian part of the town and slaughtered 10 people like sheep".He said he counted 10 bodies afterwards.
A police spokesman said they were aware of the incident but were still trying to confirm casualties.
Armed fighters have killed hundreds of people since launching a rebellion against the government in 2009, the usual targets being security forces, government officials or Christians, whom Boko Haram sees as infidels.
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, reporting from Maiduguri, said there was fear among the people in the area.
"People are on edge and are constantly worried about violence. Maiduguri has been at the epicentre of violence, with criminal acts perpetrated by members of Boko Haram for at least two years now," she said.
"Almost on a daily basis we found, while on the ground there, that people witnessed suicide attacks, car bombings, churches being attacked, and major fighting between the armed group and a joint task force set up to fight Boko Haram."
In another development, security forces said on Sunday they had killed a senior Boko Haram commander, Mohammed Ibrahim, one of several who had a bounty placed on his head last week of 25 million naira ($158,900) in his case.
"He was killed in an operation in Gwange ward [Borno state] along with two of his unit commanders," a spokesman for joint military and police forces in Borno state, Lieutenant-Colonel Sagir Musa, said.
Attacks on Christians seem calculated to ignite sectarian tensions in Africa's most populous nation, which is split roughly evenly between Muslims and Christians.

Summer Scheme at Upper Crossgar
In August, the Ulster-Scots Agency put on a number of summer schools for children aged 6-16 to tell them more about Ulster-Scots, the music, the history, the culture and the language.
The schools chosen were in Kilkeel, West Belfast and Upper Crossgar near Dromara - and it is the latter that Liam Logan visits for a bit of learning with the weans.
Liam has a word with William Wallace who is a pipe major in the local pipe band.
Jim Millar of the Ulster-Scots Agency gives an overview of the programme and Liam chats to Maynard Hanna, also from the Agency. (Broadcast: 3 Sep 2006)

The Violent Bear it Away
Arthur Silber writes of the gang-rape case in Richmond, California. You are unlikely to find such passion, eloquence and meaning in any other story about this case, and its implications. I won't excerpt Silber's essay here, because I think you should read the entire piece. I will only print his conclusion:
But, many people will say, this is monstrous. We must teach these children that such behavior is deeply wrong, and that they must change. To all such people, I reply: Then change yourselves. Change your values, and change the way you think and act. Children will see those changes, and their own behavior will alter accordingly in time.
Change yourselves. Start today. Start right now.

"I really appreciated the proofing process. I wanted to make some changes to the wording of the invite. The changes came back more quickly than I expected, and I appreciated the edits for consistency. I was very pleased with the paper and design quality as well."
"I made the invitations a dark blue color to match the color that I chose for my wedding. The quality and printing of the invitations were very good, they turned out even better then I thought they would. I love the whimsical design of the swirls, everything shown on the invitation is very clear and legible. You get exactly what you approve the designer to do. Everyone who received the invitation loved it. They thought it it was very pretty. I just wish it had a little more space for the reception information."
"I don't normally leave reviews, but I was so happy with these invites that I wanted to share my thoughts. The customer service was exceptional, the turn around rate for edits was fast and they arrived promptly. I had looked through hundreds of invites and searched several sites, but kept coming back to Wedding Paper Divas. Their prices were competitive and the invites are of strong beautiful quality. We needed clear wording with a delicate touch and these invites came through! I'm looking forward to mailing these out soon!!"
"This is a great option for established couples making a public commitment. It feels very modern and fresh, but the paper and color give it a laid-back feel. It's a paper blend, so it comes out more grey and textured than a clean white card. The back detail is optional, but I would go for it!"
"I love my invitations, response cards and reception cards! I am not into the new modern invitations with lots of color and designs. I was looking for a "classic" look - black and white - and this inviation had that. I was a little hesitant of the deisgn at the stop, but once I held the invite in person, I couldn't have been happier. It really is beautiful! It's clear they packaged the invites with care and attention. I can't say enough great things about this invitation and wedding paper divas! Thank you!!!"

1997 Buick LeSabreVisitor, Sioux City, IA, December 27, 2014 18:07This was my grandparents until they passed away. I inherited their 1997 Lesabre Custom with 85,000 miles didn't drive many places since elderly people. The body is in good shape stereo with Delco cassette plays impressive very comfortable buckets, fixed one of the headlights wasn't working it still runs like new bought in 2005 as a free ride. I own this car now, thankfully hasn't made me put no expenses into high expensive repairs vehicle has 104986 miles 3.8L engine idles very quiet I always used a car cover staying in decent condition interior is very clean though have smaller kids no tears or rips everything works great on the Buick. It has been a well maintained car all these years even when my grandparents owned it my grandpa took very excellent care of it when first bought late '96 of a 1997 model year car love this car. I'd wouldn't hesitate in getting one of these couldn't pass reliability with a Buick might be for an elder person but truly reliable with decent ride, great sound system, spacious and very low maintenance.

1997 Buick LeSabresidrow, Antioch, TN, November 06, 2012 01:13My 97 Lesabre custom has 284000 miles on it. I'm not sure if that is original miles for it was a salvage car when I bought it. The body is tight with no rattles, steering is tight with no slack in the linkage, all controls and lights working properly, interior is like a new car, blue with white exterior, a very pretty car. I've done the normal maintenance, Brakes and recently the plastic intake (plentum) with a new water pump and radiator. I plan on getting a half million miles on my good ole Buick. I change the oil every 3 months regardless of miles and use Mobile 1 High Mileage synthetic. These cars are as good as any Asian car out there and much less expensive to repair. The 3800 V6 Series II is bullett proof and fun to drive. Like my Buick!!Rookie
1997 Buick LeSabreVisitor, Toledo, OH, October 09, 2012 11:30I bought a used 1997 Lesabre at 55,000 miles. GM put a PLASTIC intake manifold on it which eventually cracks. I found this out the hard way. I was driving one day & my car began to (putt) loose power. I turned the car off right away. Thank god! The plastic intake manifold cracked leaking radiator fluid into my engine causing it to LOCK UP!! Thankfully my instincts told me to turn my car off right away or it would of ruined the engine! It took the shop a while to clean all the radiator fluid out of the engine & then replaced the manifold. The serpentine belt had to be replaced more than once. Also, the gas gage quit working. Other than that it was a GREAT CAR! Only other repairs were just regular maintenance such as fuel pump, water pump, alternator, brakes and so forth.
1997 Buick LeSabreVisitor, Cartersville, GA, June 08, 2012 15:30I have a 1997 Buick LaSabre, with over 200,000 miles on. My step-son is a know it all and says that Dex-Coolant is not good for the car but is is recommended for the car. I looked it up and it DOES SAY to use what is recommended for the car. Is Dex-Coolant good?

Also had a misfire check engine light came on replaced coil light went off but then came back on ugghhhhh...but over all love a buick i have had 4 altogther if i was rich i wlould buy a new one every year
1997 Buick LeSabreVisitor, Eleva, WI, September 28, 2011 23:28We have two 1997 Buick LeSabres, a Custom with 118,000 miles and a Limited with 126,000 miles. The Custom had the Intake Manifold/ Leaking antifreeze problem at 90,000 miles and leaking corroded brakelines at 115,000 miles. Both problems were corrected with replacement of affected parts. The Limited's brakelines were replaced after the Custom's brakelines failed. Both cars have considerable corrosion of exposed unprotected metal on the underside. The panel below the left side doors is corroded all of the way through on the Limited. A few days ago, the Limited's subframe rear mounting bolts let go because of subframe corrosion. Both sides let go with a bang and release of the large metal spacers, rolling around on the ground afterward. The subframe is separated about six to eight inches from normal, also allowing the engine to drop down. The rear end of the subframe is only two inches from the ground now. Luckily, this all happened as I was accelerating after stopping for a red light and not while traveling at higher speed. I was able to limp the car home afterward by driving at slow speed. After checking blogs concerning subframe separation, it is apparent this is not an isolated event. It does appear to be a problem in northern "rustbelt" states. It also appears that GM has not officially recognized the problem. At the relatively low mileage on both cars, the engine and drivetrain should go many more years, if the body and frame can keep up.
1997 Buick LeSabreVisitor, North Fort Myers, FL, September 10, 2011 18:38I think I need an oil sensor where do I locate it on the engine? The oil gauge goes almost to the red scared to drive it any idea if that may be the problem, also when I stop the car at lights it has been jerking when I go forward then it settles down.
1997 Buick LeSabreVisitor, Capitol Heights, MD, August 05, 2011 14:43after awhile of sitting my car runs an then cuts off after sitting.... it will start up only if i pull gas in the intake manifold.. can someone tell me what is the problem
1997 Buick LeSabreVisitor, Chicago, IL, February 18, 2011 18:33I HAVE HAD NO MAJOR PROBLEMS. I BOUGHT IT USED NEARLY 3 YEARS AGO WITH JUST OVER 30,000 MILES. I JUST REPLACED THE TIRES FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT IS ROOMY, COMFORTABLE AND FEELS SAFE. IT IS ATTRACTIVE (WHO CARES IF THEY SAY IT IS AN OLD PEOPLE'S CAR!)... AND IF I CAN FIND ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT I WOULD BUY IT AGAIN NEXT TIME. I LIVE IN CHICAGO AND PARK OUT OUT IN THE COLD AND IT ALWAYS STARTS. THE ONLY PROBLEM I EVER HAVE IS SOMETIMES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NOT GOING OUT WHEN I TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE CONTROLS TO GET THE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF.

Your favorite pickle recipes?
I know there are some on the harvest forum but I want to hear favorites from my friends here. I've tried various recipes over the years and never really liked any of them so end up using those packs of Mrs. Wages. I LOVE the flavor of those but they're now almost $4 a packet. Yowzers! So, once I use up what I have in the pantry, I'll be back to homemade. I so wish I had gotten my grandmother's pickle recipes. She made wonderful pickles.
We only like dills and I make bread & butters for extended family but if you have a favorite sweet recipe, post it here anyway, please. Someone else could use it and I'll even copy it down for my recipe box just in case I'm ever implanted with alien DNA and start liking sweet pickles.
Diane, does a sort of relish qualify? I have one that's called "End of the garden" that's more of a mixed pickle condiment than it is a true relish, since the chunks are fairly large. It's really good. Not that any of us will have anything left in the garden this year, but maybe next? If you want, I'll dig it out. It's kind of a bread and butter flavor. I also have a tomato-apple relish that's really good.
I haven't made any dills for years, since I discovered Clausen's and decided I was wasting my time trying for good crisp dills by making them at home.
I think one of the best books I've ever found for that sort of thing is the old Farm Journal Freezing & Canning Cookbook. It was first printed in 1963, but you should be able to find a used copy on Amazon for a few dollars.
Yes. I used to have a 5-gallon pickle crock to use for making dills. I finally got away from all of it because there was just me to eat it, unless I gave it away to the ranch hands and friends. What with growing, watering, weeding and tending, and then the work of all the canning on top of it, I decided I'd been doing that long enough. I moved to where we were growing fruit instead of a big veggie garden and made jams and preserves instead. I still do, to a certain extent. Mostly it's fancy gourmet stuff that takes forever to make. One batch of strawberry preserves takes 3 days, if you can imagine, but then I give it away as gifts to people who love it.
It's kind of like starting from scratch to make your own chocolate-covered cherries, which I've also done. Lots of work for a pretty small return.
Pat, I'd love to see the mixed pickle relish.
Tracy, I'd fiddled with fermenting but not pickles. I've always just bypassed those recipes because I assume it's a pain. When the cukes start coming in, they come in hot & heavy and I need to crank out pickles pretty quickly. With fermenting, I just imagined 200 jars sitting & fermenting, taking up a whole lot of room somewhere and needing me to keep an eye on them. Maybe I should quit assuming and just give it a try?
I got to thinking yesterday, maybe I've been going about this all wrong. Maybe I've been trying all the various spice combinations for recipes when my taste buds are looking for something simpler. I don't even like most of the spices that make up a lot of the recipes so why would I like pickles flavored with them? Duh. So now I'm going to search for simple, simple recipes.
Diane- you would probaly want to ferment in five gallon, food grade plastic buckets, if you can find them. Would actually slow down the rush of pickle season, since you would throw a big batch into the bucket with the salt brine and spices, Add the weight , which would probably be a plate with a plastic bag filled with brine and leave the bucket. Check it and skim the scum of the top (takes a minute, max daily) and in a couple of weeks, on a quiet day, when you feel like they're ready, you process them.
I have "the Joy of Pickling" by Linda Zeidrich, which has fantastic fermented and vinegar recipes. I've yet to make a recipe from there that I didn't like. The sauerkraut that I made, with apples, onions, and caraway, was fantastic. I also fermented a pepper/garlic mash from her book, which turned out awesome.
I made some of the vinegar recipes which were all good as well. I've still not gotten a single pickling cucumber to grow in AZ, but I keep trying, in hopes of making homemade pickles.
I also like the recipes from 'The Joy of Pickling' and use both those and the ones from the Ball Blue Book. I haven't used any of the Mrs. Wages' mixes in years, but liked them when I used them.
I haven't made any pickles this year even though 'County Fair' has held up well and was producing until I stopped watering it. There are too many fire interruptions in the middle of the day and I haven't canned a single thing yet. You can't just run off and leave for a little while once you're in the middle of a canning project. I do intend to make Habanero Gold jelly but probably am not going to can anything else this year.
Diane, as far as I'm concerned, pickles and relishes are a very individual taste, and most recipes can be adapted to fit what you like. Someone created them to begin with and wrote it down because they liked the taste. There's no reason why you can't do the same thing. When I'm making a pickling syrup for something like peppers, I get it all ready (the way I want it) in a pan before I add the veggies. That way there are no surprises with the flavor when the jars are opened later. With the following recipe, I go light on the green peppers but might add in a few pieces of a spicy pepper, and leave out the cabbage completely. You can play with it according to what you like or have. Spice it up or tone it down. About the only thing you can't successfully do is use Splenda or powdered artificial sweetener in pickles, because it will make them cloudy. I've used liquid sweetener with no loss of quality, but it's a pain in the neck to measure it out properly.
Here's the recipe. Coarse-cut the veggies so they are in pieces you can pick up with a fork.
1 C sliced pickling cukes
1 C chunked green peppers
1 C " " onion (or very tiny white onions)
1 C chopped cabbage
1/2 C canning/pickling salt
2 Qts water
1 C green beans, cut to 1" length
1 C Yellow beans, " "
1 C slender carrots, 1/2" length
1 C celery
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp celery seeds
2 Tbsp mustard seeds
2 C cider vinegar
2 C sugar
2 Tbsp ground turmeric
Put cukes, peppers, onions and cabbage (if using) into 1-gallon crock. Dissolve 1/2 C salt in 2 qts of water, pour over veggies, cover and let stand for 12-18 hours. Drain.
Put beans, carrots, celery and 1 tsp salt in 4-qt kettle, cover with water and boil for 15 minutes. Drain, add remainder of uncooked veggies, celery seed, mustard seeds, vinegar, sugar and turmeric. Bring to boil, simmer 15 minutes. Pack into hot jars and seal. Process in water bath for 15 minutes.
Makes 3 1/2 pints.
I found this one at allrecipes.com and have used it twice already, and we really like the pickles. I want to stress that this is a recipe for refrigerator pickles .... they are not processed with a water bath and therefore can't be stored on the pantry shelf as that would be unsafe. But what I love is that it is quick and simple and I can quickly make a couple of jars of pickles with a very small amount of cucumbers. It calls for one large cucumber, but mine are the pickling variety so I have been using 2 or 3 small to medium size cucumbers.
Microwave Bread and Butter Pickles
1 large cucumber, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar (note: I used 1/4 cup white vinegar and 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar)
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1.In a medium microwave safe bowl, mix cucumber, salt, onion, mustard seeds, white sugar, distilled white vinegar, celery seed and turmeric.
2.Microwave on high 7 to 8 minutes, stirring twice, until cucumbers are tender and onion is translucent.
3.Transfer to sterile containers. Seal and chill in the refrigerator until serving.
I'll add the link below as well, in case you want to read the comments/reviews that people have posted about this recipe.

Would anyone like a recipe for Sweet Dills? It has half the sugar of a sweet pickle, plus dill and onion, so it's sort of a sweet-and -sour pickle. It's a fast recipe to make. No crock required.
I have another one for a sweet-hot mixed vegetable pickle, with beans, carrots, cauliflower, green tomatoes, onions and peppers if anyone wants it.
Some of my favorites are the home-made chutneys. Delicious!
Hi Suzie,
Okay, this is another recipe that's fully adjustable for heat and the veggies you want to put in it. I don't know that I'd add garlic because of the sugar, but you can easily use the sort of peppers you like best (hot, mild, some of several kinds, or in between) and take out or leave in the veggies according to preference.. It's a big recipe, so obviously you can cut it down to fit your needs. Half of it is probably plenty. If you have a big spice ball, that's great. If not, cheesecloth works just fine to hold the spices.
2 lb pickling cukes
2 lb green tomatoes, cored and coarse-chopped
1 1/2 lb of onions, peeled and sliced
2 red peppers, seeded and cut into strips
2 green peppers, seeded and cut
1 C pickling salt
1 gal. cold water
2 C tender green beans
1 lb carrots, peeled and cut to 1/2" length
2 C celery, cut to 1/2"
2 C lima beans if desired
1 med cauliflower, cut into florets
1 Tbsp canning/pickling salt
8 C 5% vinegar
7 C sugar
1/4 C mixed pickle spices
4 Tbsp mustard seeds
2 Tbsp celery seeds
(if you want it hotter, you can add extra peppercorns, or even a bit of fresh ginger, or both, to the spice bag, or you can drop a few peppercorns into each jar.)
Wash cukes and cut into about 1/4" slices
Combine cukes, tomatoes, onions and peppers in 2-gallon crock. Dissolve 1 C salt in 1 gallon cold water and pour over veggies. Cover and let stand 12 to 18 hours. Drain. Pour boiling water over veggies and drain immediately. Set aside.
Put green beans, carrots, celery, cauliflower and limas into 8 qt kettle. Add 1 Tbsp salt and water to cover. Cook uncovered for 20 minutes. Drain.
Combine vinegar, sugar, pickling spices (tied in a cheesecloth bag) mustard seeds and celery seeds with all vegetables in kettle. Bring to a boil. Simmer 3 minutes.
Ladle into sterilized hot jars to within 1/4" of top. Wipe jar rim and cap jar. Process in boiling water bath 5 minutes. Start to count processing time when the water in the bath returns to a full boil. Remove from water bath and let cool. Makers 7 quarts. We love it as a condiment on a holiday table.
Diane, when I've lost or given away my old cookbooks, like the Farm Journal one, I've been able to find replacements on Amazon for practically nothing. Some of these books are long since out of print, so that's about the only place you'll find them. Just the pickle and relish recipes alone are well worth finding a copy.
One you might search for in the library is called 'Fancy Pantry'. I think it may still be in print, but it's not what you'd call a down-to-earth farm-style cookbook. Still, you might find some tasty and interesting things in it.
Pat, that's a good reminder. I buy most of my books used from Amazon and usually get amazing deals! In fact, I got my Farm Journal's Country Cookbook form there. I might go ahead and try their fermented pickle instructions. Or maybe it was in the Stillroom Cookery book. One of those two anyway. I poked through both last week but only skimmed over the fermentation recipes until you all mentioned it here.
I smell an experiment in my near future...
Thank you, Pat. Wow, there are a lot of ingredients in that recipe .... sounds yummy! And if this had been a normal garden year instead of a crazy hot bug-infested year, I'd have had at least half the ingredients to make these from our garden.
The whole trick to making good pickles is to start off with the absolutely freshest product you can get. Usually that means picked from your own garden that morning. I've bought pickle cukes from people who swore that they were picked the same day, and then thrown out all those wasted jars. Time and money down the drain. Never again. Carrots, cabbage or cauliflower are not quite as critical, but beans and cukes absolutely must be fresh. Tomorrow is too late.
I noticed that, in a normal year, Local Harvest lists a number of places around the state to pick your own if you run short of something you need. So does OK Land Bounty, available from the Dept of Tourism. Don't bother sending for the brochures, because you'll never receive them. Download them instead.
I think what I like best about a mixed pickle recipe like that is you can put in what you want and leave out what you don't care for. And since you can vary the heat or spices as well . . . . it turns out to be something special for your family. I usually follow the trick of boiling the vinegar and spices together to test the flavor and aroma before dumping in the veggies. Except with the addition of hot peppers, there won't be much change in the flavor of the brine in the finished product. If you get that the way you want it at the beginning, you're pretty sure to come up with a product you will like. Of course, you might run the rest of the family out of the house with the boiling vinegar . . . . . . . . .
I have given up on trying to do a boiling water bath pickle that turns out crisp, that goes for okra too, soooo disappointing! Do the fermented pickles end up crisp? BUT I do make a mean refrigerator pickle. I make mine Asian style using un or slightly diluted rice vinegar, fresh/powdered Ginger, sugar and the mc cormick mixed pickling spices. I have no clue what the measurements are I justly toss it in till it tastes good, then let them marinade overnight and use them up with in a week or so. Very tasty.
Great info yall! I have wanted to ask about canning resources for awhile. I have no, absolutely none, experience with canning or pickling. But I would love to try, I just wouldnt know where to begin or what to expect. I think I will get a book, maybe 'The Joy of Pickling', that Dawn mentioned. Any advise?
Since you are brand new to canning or pickling, I'd start out with the Ball Blue Book. It usually is available on the canning supply aisle at Wal-Mart, or you can often find it at a bookstore or order it online from Amazon. It costs about $10.00. All the recipes in the Ball Blue Book have been tested and are safe for canning when following precisely.
The best online source for canning information is the website of the National Center for Home Food Preservation. It has all kinds of instructional information, recipes and how-to videos. All the recipes on this website are tested and proven safe.
The most important thing about canning is safety. Improperly canned foods can contain pathogens like botulism or listeria (and many others) that can be deadly even though the food looks and smells perfectly fine. So, use only safe, approved canning recipes.
There are many recipes available on the internet (and also sometimes found in magazine articles and books) that I wouldn't use because they haven't been tested and proven safe for canning. Once you're experienced at canning, you'll recognize them because you'll be able to look at the ingredient list and tell, for example, that they don't have enough vinegar for the amount of ingredients being pickled, or whatever. Sometimes I'll see a canning recipe is a magazine and can tell at a glance that is not safe and I'll say something to my DH about it. Then, in a few weeks, the next issue of the magazine, or the next one after it, will arrive with a printed correction. I wish they'd be sure of the safety of their canning recipes before they print them to begin with.
Also, be sure to use the precise form of canning recommended. Some foods can be canned using a boiling water bath while others must be pressure-canned. Once again, this is a safety issue. Boiling water baths only work for a few types of veggies and fruits, and you have to use pressure canning for others. Each recipe will tell you whether to use a boiling water bath or pressure canner.
Also, just remember you cannot substitute anything in a canning recipe unless the recipe says such a substitution is safe and is allowed. Safety is based on the pH of the ingredients and on the density as well. If you make any change that alters the pH or the density, you alter the safety of the recipe. I'm not trying to scare you---canning is perfectly safe when you use approved recipes and follow them precisely. A lot of folks like to freelance though, and while that is fine with regular cooking, it is not fine when canning food.
I'm going to link the Ball Blue Book so you can see what it looks like. As of last week, they still had them on the canning aisle at my local Wal-Mart, but often they only have them during the height of the growing season and don't stock the book year-round, so you may or may not find it in your local store.
Canning is fun and is a great way to preserve food. I canned over 700 jars last year when the garden was producing much more abundantly than it has this year.
Here is a link that might be useful: The Ball Blue Book
Dawn, thanks for adding those good tips for canning. You're absolutely right that things should not be substituted or altered in a recipe unless you really know what you're doing. Canning is pretty safe and easy if you follow the rules, and can be lethal otherwise. I'm not trying to scare anyone. Just stating fact.
I know I said you can leave certain things out of the mixed pickle, or alter the spices, and it's true, BUT, you'll see that I never ever add in a different vegetable or alter the pickling brine aside from adjusting the spices to our personal taste. That would not be a smart move, and could be dangerous as well. If it calls for peppers, you can substitute hot ones for sweet and vice versa, but you can't do something like adding pea pods because it sounds like it might work. Don't go there.
Yes, the Ball Blue Book is probably the best primer there is, and it's more than just a primer. Although I've been using one of their books since about 1970, I always make sure to get mine back if I loan it out to anyone.. The company has been in business since the 1930s, back in the day when women poured hot wax over the top of jam in a jar to seal it and preserve it, which sometimes did and sometimes didn't. It's the job of companies like Ball and Kerr to see that things are done safely and properly in food preservation. They update the books pretty often, so the recent volumes have the latest information. If you can't find one locally, you can get it from either Amazon or eBay.
One final thing to add: I often see novice canners leaving too much air space in the top of the jar. It's probably the most common mistake there is. Maybe a gap of as much as 3/4 to 1" of air, and that's way too much. You want the ingredients to come within 1/4" of the top and be completely covered in liquid, brine, or whatever, without it actually touching the lid. Using a knife or thin spatula to exhaust trapped air bubbles is also important. You don't want any more air in the jar than is absolutely necessary, and always wipe the jar rim thoroughly with a piece of damp paper towel or something to be sure it's clean before sealing, to be sure no syrup or bit of ingredient is on it to prevent a tight seal..
Seedmama discussed this very topic yesterday or the day before on the cucumber thread I've linked below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cucumber Thread
I just want to chime in and thank everyone for the recipes. These are probably years away for me but I've printed, cut and bound them in my garden book(s). I love fermented foods and think that is a terrific idea for the pickles and the excess juice would be a wonderful edition to the compost (?)
I was lucky enough to stumble across a ball blue book canning guide online for free and downloaded it. Tremendous blessing as I know I'll never be able to afford a new book, but those in the second-hand stores which may not be up to date.
So, the question I have is: is this book all I need to learn to perform all the basic canning methods safely? I've only peeked at the download once. I suppose I should, at least, purchase some fresh produce and fruit from the store and can for practice. That thot just crossed my mind.
Does anyone here have experience with making home-made browning sauce from veggies? In today's age it is far easier to purchase from the store (and probably contains 'crap' I'd like to rid) but I'd want to try to make it considering it utilizes veggie scraps. I already make bone broth (and a type of gelatin) using the canner as well as veggie broths. The browning sauce is just a highly concentrated form of broth, right?
I try to imagine the "old days" and have empathy for the hours they must have spent in the kitchen and using a wood burning stove. Paupers' meals must have been very boring and dull. I complain if I'm in there for more than four hours chopping and prepping for three different meals!
Oh, LOVE the end of garden recipe. Can't stand those flavors but my husband would dearly love that taste and what a great way to use up those veggie scraps.
Okay, got the answer for the ball blue book as I began reading further down. I'm too impatient and not reading everything after something pops in my head. Thanks for that, Pat. Your tips will be invaluable.
I'm really nervous about the whole canning idea constantly reminding myself that people have been canning for eons and I'll get through it. More than once I've read someone's writing exactly "follow the book precisely". I guess that's all there is to it. Thanks all
The Ball Blue Book is great.
The ultimate authority, however, is the website of the National Home Center for Food Preservation. If you ever find a conflict between the BBB and the NCHFP, I'd do whatever the NCHFP advises. This is the website where government-approved (in terms of safety) recipes and guidelines can be found.
There is so much info at the NCHFP website that it should cover any questions that arise.
Start with something simple like jelly or pickles. Both are very easy and will turn out just fine as long as you follow all the directions. You also can make freezer jam, which doesn't require being boiled in glass jars. You just fill up the plastic freezer jars and put them in the freezer. Nothing could be simpler. As you build confidence, move on to other stuff.
Once you start canning and see how easy it is to get good results from proven, safety-approved recipes, you'll be hooked on canning. It is a great way to utilize the excess garden produce that you cannot use fresh.
Please note that the NCHFP website covers not just canning, but freezing, dehydrating, fermenting and other methods as well. All the recipes are safety-tested and approved.
Here is a link that might be useful: Website of National Center for Home Food Preservation
That is awesome. Thank you. I need to start "jumping in" because I'm understanding what needs to be learned is based upon my own little ecology, needs, abilities and desires. This site may be more useful for me right now as I explore the various preservation options that might be more suitable for me.
