After we wash the cucumbers we ice them down for a couple of hours, ( It helps to make a crispy pickle)
We also put about 2 pieces of Garlic a layer.

We are off to the farmers market to see if the pickles are in, we are planning to make some crock dills =P~
Here are the pickles cleaned and ready to be put on ice….
