I live in the middle of a city McP and I am lucky enough to live on the top floor and have my own roof terrace, there is no ground to put anything in. I could plant some in the park but I reckon they wouldn't last long.

i wanted to try the red iceberg and I actually quite like the taste of iceberg even though some people poo-poo it. The ones I grew last year where pretty tasty.

my wife was just complaining that she thought the cucmubers where a bit yellow. think i'll give them some 'groene kracht' - (green power)

i made simple pickle last year with cucs and lemon cucs, i just cut them up and tossed them in pickle juice form the store and within a week they tasted good, but this year i would liek to try it all home made. i also want to makes pasta sauce, salsa and jalapeño poppers.

have you ever tried pickled asparigues? ( or however it is spelled) it is very good, kinda wish i grew some now

mmmmmmmmm bloody mary's!!!
With a little more detail on your beans we can probably figure out the problem quickly with so many knowledgeable peeps here :-)

mcpurp- I love pickled "asparagus"! I love almost anything thats been pickled :-D
I actually drink pickle juice all the time lol sounds gross but for some reason I cant get enough haha
My brother tells me its great for hangovers but that may be a myth... he has done his bit of drinking though.

ya i like pickled stuff to except pigs feet. and i used to drink the juice as well with a bit of pepper added to it, so not gross at all my man.
and thats funny your bro says that cuz my older sister who is a avid drinker also claims it helps her with hang overs.
i have never tried cuz i dont like the idea of eating something pickled in the morning. but when i do get a hang over witch is rare now i just go grab a ice cold purple or blue Gatorade and it for some reason makes me feel great.

no video tonight guys.
sorry i lied again. it will happen sooner or later though.

Also a pickle fan, will look out some cool pickle recipes for you guys when I have a minute (spicey for whodat!!!) Its asparagus season here in Europe, everywhere you go it's classed as a speciality. We get the gree ones (grown above ground) But the white ones (grown in earth mounds) are very popular. I am not really digging the whie asparagus since it tends to be a bit stringier in my experience. Stoned cooking is the nuts! Just got to rememebr to turn the stove off!!! lol. Peace veggie friends.
