Beginning in early spring, right up until the end of summer, people around us are working in their gardens. My neighbours to the right of us have remarkable patience when it comes to gardening. I swear she could charge people to come into her yard to see the various flowers she has. I am not the flowery type but I will admit, she makes gardening look simple! I prefer vegetable gardens and even though I have not done one the last two years, I still receive an abundance of food from other people’s gardens. Or sometimes just their regular produce from the fridge that they are not going to use up in time. My mother-in-law is famous for giving me leftovers that she is not going to use or cannot eat. Case in point: Cucumbers.

I am definitely going to try it with dill next time. (I can't do sugar, so I'll be sticking with the lime juice! :-) )
