Pickle Workshop

We have a thumbs up for the pickles. April made several patches so that everyone could taste the pickles. We opened one jar and passed it around. Everyone even got to take a jar of pickles home. Connie Stone got two. One was in the raffle.



Here is the great group who attended our Workshop. Some new faces, and some returning friends. Kris Cyrus and Jessica along with Rebecca our getting the ingredients ready to put our pickles in the pot.

Here is the Princess patiently waiting to hand our goodies for our raflles. Her name is Rebecca and is Aprils' daughter.



Here is our wonderful batch of Bread and Butter Pickles. We had a great turnout to our Bread and Butter Pickling making workshop. We had lots of laughs and lots of conversation about the old times. We learned a little pickle history and raffled off some goodies.
Hope to see you at the next one. Cool Season gardening with Lyn Muth on Wednesday, August 5th, at the A to Z Garden Center at 6 p.m.























A New friend to the Nursery



What a great treat we had on Friday. We got to meet a new friend. His name is Buster, he is a rescue from Yuba City. He and his mom, Robbie stopped by to look at the nursery and order some plants. We thought Mr. Buster was the BOMB!!!!!!

Well, tomorrow is a day back to work. I guess it is time to get ready for the Pickles.......
It is really hot today. Went down the hill to fill my cupboards again. Needed more time off though. The chicken coop is almost all done. Two doors and a gate. Nesting boxes to come later when the weather cools off.

Upcoming workshops

Well this week is the Pickles workshop. I have made two batches of pickles and will be making more in the coming days. We have a assignment for the nursery to rediscover what is missing. So in the next couple of weeks you will see a great turn around in the Garden center.

Also, next week in the nursery, we will be having a workshop on Winter Gardening.......
