Here is a relatively useless fact about pickle production that made me wonder.... It seems that store pickles are all the same size (well most of them that is) and this is due to a carefully orchestrated timing of planting, bringing in bees to pollinate all on the same day, and picking all on the same day, which produces uniform sizes in the cucumbers. So my question is, since Aunt Bee wouldn't have had access to cukes grown for production, her cucumbers would have been different sizes, and the store pickles would have been more uniform, and nobody noticed this...Not even Clara Edwards. Just makes you wonder. And I got this information from a professor with a PhD whose brother makes a good living in the bee business, pollinating pickles.
