We have gone for years without a decent cucumber. Now our vines are blessing us with tons of cucumbers!! I have already put up 35 pints of sweet pickle sticks, and today I started brining 20 pounds of dill pickles and 10 pounds of cucumber chunks. There's still plenty to take to the gals at the courthouse who are so nice to me. I don't mind putting up extras, because there is the memory of all those cucumber-less years.

The Kosher dills are my favorites, because when I was in my 20's I used to visit a little ice cream parlor/deli combination and buy their incredible giant pickles. Some of them weighed a pound. Sometimes I ate the whole thing in one sitting. They were as good as the ice cream to me!
