Better start stocking up on pickles.

Damn...few weeks ago, with advice from Dirtman, started making my own pickles. Were coming out pretty good, too.
Now, what am I going to do ???
Cukes with "downy mildew" will probably turn into pickles with "hairy knobs" !

Did this originate in a basement in New Jersey?

We need to develop a vaccine for downy mildew !!!

I blame Obama.

 

[Dirtman]

I may have discovered patient zero...

Shhhhhhhhhh! No one tell the pickle police!

As MikeG hinted at, no one has ever grown a pickle. A whole article about growing pickles make me SMH.

It’s like a wheat farmer saying “I grow noodles.

First it was TP and paper towels. Then christmas trees, and now cucumbers and pickles due to "downy mildew" !
WHAT IS GOING TO BE NEXT ???
