Over the last two years the victory garden has produced cucumbers in all shapes and sizes. Regardless of the shape each cucumber slices up nicely in salads and side dishes. The family favorite is the pickled cucumbers. There are variety of ways to pickle your cucumbers and I have tried dill, kosher and fridge. Over the last week over 20 pickles were picked. The largest pickle was nine inches long and the smallest was four inches. I decided to make two variations of fridge pickled cucumbers: Ginger-Spice Cucumbers from the Better Homes and Garden New Cook Book 15th Edition; Mom's Cucumbers from Allrecipes.com (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/moms-cucumbers/detail.aspx).

I personally like the sweet snappy taste of the Ginger-Spice but Mom's is a family favorite and tastes good with meat and vegetables. You can place these cucumbers on sandwiches, hot dogs, rice bowls or just have it as a side dish. Fridge pickled cucumbers are easy to make since there is no canning. Just slice, toss, pack and refrigerate the cucumbers and you are ready to munch on some crispy tangy cucumbers. Nom nom!
Victory Garden Alert! Victory Garden Alert! The bean robber has been spotted! Cameras have caught a glimpse of the robber for the first time. CSI have confirmed that the canidae hair is a visual match to the fur caught on camera. The bean robber was quick and avoided showing his face while fleeing the scene. Authorities have doubled their surveillance in hope of catching the canid while he is in possession of the stolen veggies. For now authorities have given us the following image to help us spot the robber.
