I hadn't bought cucumber seeds in a long long time, not that I'm not a fan, I just never had the trellis network I wanted. This year I ordered "Dar" cucumber seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. Wow, these are great, and they are exactly how Baker Creek described them. They're juicy and plump little things and the colouration is very unique - just what I was looking for. I collected a few for pickling the other day - made some quick dill pickles from a generic online recipe.

| I should have taken a picture where you can see the size of these guys! |

| Sliced up - what beauts! I left them as wedges as a possible sandwich side. |
 |
| Canned and ready for munching in a few weeks. |
I've really amped up my canning game this year - I'm not a huge fan of canned goods, but I've found some solid recipes to try, and nice little canned pickles or beans make nice holiday gifts.
