Cold Pack Pickles *Can be stored up to 2 yrs.
I have been using this Recipe since 1988 exclusively.

Excellent recipe for same day harvest/preserving

Recipe is for 1 wide mouth Quart Jar

Ingredients:
1.5 TBLS Canning Pickling Salt
1/2 Cup Cider Vinegar
1 TBLS Pickling Spice
2-4 Whole Garlic cloves - peeled
4-5 Whole Dried Hot Peppers (Thai or similar) OR REAPERS
1/4 tsp pickle crisp (easily found in canning section)
Fresh dill fronds (optional) I no longer use the dill.
COLD Filtered water to top off before sealing.

Fresh picked Pickling Cucumbers, washed, rinsed and bottom flower tip trimmed off.

Directions:

1.Gently wash fresh picked pickling cucumbers, set aside.

2.Wash & Sterilize Wide mouth quart Mason/Canning jar.

3. Combine, Salt, Garlic, Pickling spice, dried peppers, pickle crisp into bottom of jar.

4.Pack jars firmly with washed cukes...do not smash cukes, vary sizes as needed to fill jar. DO NOT USE SOFT CUKES.

5. Add sprig of dill, and vinegar.

6. Fill remaining space in jar to within 1/8" of top with filtered water.

Seal with heated lid and place tightening band on hand tight and snug. do not over tighten.

Shake jar vigorously and store upside down for 24hrs.
Check jars daily and invert daily for 10 days. Bottom one day, top the next.

After 10 days store in cool dark place...pickles will be ready in 6-8 weeks.

These make a very crisp, slightly spicy pickle.

#1645131 Bonnie plant thread! post your plants and success/failures

Posted by Masher on 28 July 2019 - 11:07 AM

I only have two remaining Bonnie plants.

Just cant get my plants this yr to actually grow.

I suspect to much blood meal at plant roots when transplanted, despite growing in premium rich potting soil (Fox farm)

I've neglected my grow this yr, lacking in every aspect possible.

Here's my Jalepeno mucho gusto or whatever you call it.

And my Cowhorn, nice looking pods but again plant size is far less than it should be.

At least I'll get seeds from each and put together a better plan for next season. No bad reflection on bonnie plants, just my laziness getting the better of me this season.

Hardening off is a slow process taking 2 weeks at best.

Especially going into full sun 85*

The tip of the plant looks fried and burnt off in place (the tine growth and flower buds)

The rest looks like classic sun scald/burn.

Put it back in the shade for 2 to 3 weeks, it can be saved.

Like solid said, that's not nitro burn.

How often are you feeding it? Max strength?
It would appear to be suffering from more than just light burn?

Different plants have different growing characteristics.

Some are dwarf, some are leggy, some grow a wide canopy.

Some throw copious amounts of pods while others may produce just a handful.

Let nature do its thing, and enjoy the journey.
