I'm giving pickling cucumbers another shot this year. Last season I only got two jars worth from my six cucumber vines lmao. I lost them pretty early in the season because of a wind storm.
This time I'm starting them nice and early (probably too early, we'll see) in the hopes of getting a longer season out of them.
If you want to grow stuff, may I suggest psilocybin mushrooms ? here's a quick write up. Though maybe not the best choice when it comes to getting frustrated easily - unless your sterile procedure is good you may get contamination your first few tries.
