I am done with pickles for the year.
The cucumber vines started dying off week before last, and I finally picked everything over about 1.5" long and pulled the vines yesterday. Today I canned the last batch of dill pickles. There's some 'regular' sized pickles in each jar, and a ton of little dinky ones.
This brought the total pickles made to 15 quarts and 7 pints. Typically I don't put pickles in pints, but since I wasn't sure how the harvest would be this year, I did. Each day I canned, if I was short on cukes to fill another quart, I used a pint jar rather than not pickle the 'extras' at all. DH will probably eat a whole pint in one sitting.
Not a banner year, for sure, but considering that I had to buy cucumbers to pickle last year, and in 2023 I didn't get even half this number of jars, I'm pretty happy with it.
