This was months ago now someone made a pickle post. Pickling is super interesting and was a great next step to expand my gardening skills. I learned a lot and am still learning a lot, but pickling is such a powerful thing and I'm already thinking about all the things I'll do differently in my garden next year. I feel very inspired to deepen my skills and knowledge for the first time in years of gardening.

Also thanks to @DirtbagVegan for the Pickle Crisp suggestion.
