Due to the fact that I am the only one in the family that truly likes dill pickles I get to can them. Here are pictures of the great event. I ended up with 21 quarts this day. The cucumbers are coming on strong and I will need to give most of them away due to the volume involved. I plan on canning enough pickles to last me a year. 50 or so quarts may do it. You never know, you might end up with a quart of pickles for Christmas this year, if you are good that is.

I also posted some pictures of the Nantes carrots. These are turning out to be the best success of the garden. We have never had carrots like this. I also planted some Danvers that are doing just as well.
