Plant Labels and Pickled Turnips

The venetian blinds in the guest bedroom were updated; the old ones became good candidates for plant labels. 

Using turnips and beets from the garden, I made three jars of pickled turnips. The recipe is below:

Turnips
Salt
White Vinegar
Beets
Garlic

Boil water and allow to cool.  To each cup of water, add 1 tablespooon of salt.  To each 2 cups of water, add 1 cup of white vinegar.  Wash turnips thoroughly and cut into small pieces and place in jars.  Add a few cloves of garlic if desired and some slices of beets.  Pour into prepared brine.  Cover and allow to set for a couple of weeks.  Refrigerate.
