I planted pickle cucumbers for the first time and I've been looking for a good sweet pickle recipe. Also, when making pickles and the recipe calls for vinegar do they mean the white distilled vinegar? Thanks! Hi Phoebe, could you post your sweet pickle recipe?

Man alive are they vicious. Unfortunately I finally resorted to dusting all our melon/squash family plants with Sevin. I hated to do it, but we are dying for some From Scratch Pumpkin Pie--and that is too much work to just let go to the bugs!

I have not learned how to can but will do so next year from hubby's aunt if she is willing to teach me or I'll find someone else who can.
