George, don't know how it escaped me, but I missed your posting of the cucumber relish recipe. Do you still have it in a form for easy retrieval...? Our cuke seeds never got in the ground this summer. Jim is still nursing that lonesome single snow pea vine which sits in the empty veggie garden. Couldn't get the weed whacker started, brought it back to the repair shop where they showed him exactly how to start it, brought it home, no soap. So he started up the big hedge trimmer on a 50 ft line, laid himself down on his belly in the hay field (veggie garden), and sliced off the 18 inches of grass gone to seed which filled it, and raked it away. Then he did manage to start up the rototiller, and turn the roots under. Now we have a virgin bed of inviting rich brown soil, and wonder if there is anything which we might plant at this late and hot date...? Days have been 85* to 95*, with up to 98% humidity. The first frost never comes until November. Any ideas? Penny . . ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
