Hi Olya

I am so glad that you re discover veggies! And I agree with you 100% about the taste of homegrown.

Here is some lettuce from my garden

I hate the store cucumbers the most. That nasty wax will not wash off. You should watch the documentary Food, Inc.

silvia--what's your recipe for radish pickles? i have a bunch of turnips and radishes left...

Hi Michael

You can use different vinegars and change the spices to your taste, I use apple cider vinegar and have used rice wine too. You can also add a little bit of celery seed, dash of turmeric and even a dried chili pepper.

Make it to your own taste and let us know how it comes out and just keep them in the refrigerator. You can also add to the same mix red onions even fennel goes well.

Use the mandoline to make quick thin slices and most of all have fun preserving your own food for later. At least you know how it was grown and what is in it.:)
