Fermented Pickles

Planning to try some half sours inspired by this post

It mentions Persian cucumbers might be easier than Kirby’s. I bought these two types; the ones the right labeled “pickling” at the Mexican market, and I think they are Kirby’s. The others are from the Asian market, and I think they are “Persian”.

The pickling ones fit better, (although this regular mouth jar is probably a mistake) and the Persian ones , which came in a bag, are already getting soft.

I obediently shook up the brine in the plastic container before pouring in the jar.

Any opinions about garlic scapes in the mix? I have some I would like to use.
