I don't think there will be any for pickling down - I can't get enough cucumbers - we eat about 20 a week - I don't think that I can even grown enough to keep up the supply

Not me personally - there are 7 of us and 3 of the kids are fructose intollerent so no fruit just lots of veggies! hence why I am try to grow as much as possible besides the fact that it tastes better it costs a fortune and the shop and gardening keeps me sane in this chaos!

god job ya in the warm then    

[DellDGM]

sometimes its a bit to warm. gets into the 40's (degrees celcius) in summer and no rain and strict water restrictions but the taste of my veggies is worth it - I sacrifice my "pretty garden" for my veggies garden when it gets really hot.  sort of the opposite of you guys this year didn't you have flood after flood after flood - maybe we need to run one big pipe from you to here and solve both problems
