I swear by pickle juice for leg cramps, probably any muscle cramps. I wish I could buy jars of just pickle juice. Usually have Bubbies without vinegar cause DH likes that kind, but any real pickle juice will work.

I haven’t posted on the gardening thread in a long time (practically never) but what a nice gang here! I have a pathetic garden - fir forest red clay/stones dirt, 100 plus foot fir trees all around. But with a cleared area and raised beds managed some tomatoes, a few zucchinies and two bell pepper plants this year. Struggling red raspberries that produced not much, concord grapes we are only managing to keep alive.

But I just planted a lot of collards, tatsoi greens and hope to do lettuce tomorrow that likes cool weather. I’m in SW OR and usually have very mild winters, so hope pick some green things even in the cold weather, can put glass windows across the boards on the raised beds if need be.

Glad to hear from you. I have also heard that pickle juice is good to use for a marinade. I was never able to grow anything until we fixed the raised beds. Almost everything I grew produced well that first year.

I love pickle juice - it’s wonderful with a cheese sandwich. Even better than a pickle and cheese sandwich.
