This year we planted, among other things (boo hoo, no red tomatoes for the 4th), bush cukes, instead of the vine ones last year. Three small bushes have yielded 4 jars of dill pickles, so far!!! Our ripe zuke we picked the other day and it was just HUGE!!! I haven't made ratatouille since I cooked for Marriott's! That sounds absolutely right for today!
