Remember that time your neighbor wanted you to help them grind their own flour? It’ll be fun, they said. No one ever gets their thumb stuck in the millstone, they said. There’s an easier way to baby step yourself into this whole urban homesteading thing than spending an afternoon cooped up in your neighbor’s garage, risking life and limb (alright, maybe just a digit or two). This week’s Grower’s Choice, Mexican Sour Gherkin cucumbers, is a novelty variety that produces loads of adorably tiny cukettes that have a pleasant, citrusy flavor. Perfect for fresh eating or canning, a relatively easy activity where the only real danger is exploding jars. Hmm. Hurry in, though, because everyone loves tiny novelty pickles. No, really, they do. It’s a fact.
