Pickled all my garden beans, was gonna save some by freezing for a family dinner, but the recipe I used called for 1.5lbs, and well I had exactly 700grams, so I used them all.
I mostly followed this recipe, with some modifications, that I got from another post earlier this week.
I doubled the sugar, and put 4 cloves in each jar instead of 2 for all. I don’t like vinegar that much, so hopefully these are more dilly and garlic.
I’ll see how they turned out in a week!
Yah desert is an understatement. Wow. Is that where the movie Dune was filmed? 😂
It’s really deceptive, we just don’t get a lot of rain, but we’re based right off the river. In the picture below is Fish Creek Provincial Park, goes through the middle of the city. There’s one of the two rivers the city was built on, and you can see the houses of the city in the backside.
Oh, and a bonus picture from a bike ride, it looks like the forest moon Endor in places too
Oh wow, gorgeous, yah i can see the appeal as to why you would want to live there. Yah we have the opposite of any of that where I live, but we do have gorgeous crystal clear Gulf waters and nice sandy beaches.
@SchmidtGenetics @BuckFutter I'm In Bruce Mines, Ontario. From Toronto. So this drought thing is new to me. Will you share the best drought-tolerant plants? Especially natives? Or do you have a page somewhere else?
A lot of cities in Canada have great Resource pages for stuff like this it’s all deepening on you local area. And even microclimates can affect it.
Even Fish creek park has one, although it’s not much. Can atleast look up the plants with the names though.
@SchmidtGenetics Most of what I've seen in the same 6 plants over and over. I can't believe in a country this vast, there isn't a ton more. I did hear one yesterday, a wild prairie turnip. Blue flowers, perennial.
Lots of plants are just varieties and cultivars of others, there shouldn’t be a lot of native plants in each particular geographical area. There’s thousands of non-natives though, and some invasive brought in from travelers and what not.

These are one type of plant, a brassica, and it has over 50 variations of its different types
Some rose bushes will grow here that won’t grow where you are. That’s just how it is.
