yes, I always buy the small 3-4 inch pickles for canning.

Becks in elk river. Lot of people aren’t ready to do that yet… even Becks didn’t have dill. I grow my own and freeze it.

That’s so weird. Do they grow them in a greenhouse or truck them in? I’m a little SW of Green Bay and it’s just started to be warm enough for cucumber plants to get going.

Yes they grow there own. Also bought strawberries from them. there small but dang tasty.

There a big time garden center. You can get about anything from them that grows to eat.

So what does a 24 batch of dill Vikes cost?

they went up a bit in price from last year by about 4 bucks…..i paid $50.00 for a 1/2 bushel………. with what i still currently had on hand plus these i wont need to do it next year!!!!!!

i believe the smaller sized pickles are more spendy dur to more of a demand!!! is what i was told when i first started.

thing is, i’ve tried about every store brand out there……nothing compares to the ones i make!!!!!!

Looks good Glenn! I love homemade pickles.

I’ve been able to can salsa which has been very good and I’ve done “fresh” Pickles before. But I haven’t done preserved pickles. In part, because I didn’t know where to get the little ones in bulk.

If I can get the time (new puppy and two kids) I might have to get over to Becks and then PM you for your recipe!

[/quote]I have volunteer dill along the periphery of the garden, already over three feet tall. Most herbs are weeds. Chives and mint were tough to get rid of.
