A lid is good for keeping out bugs and dust but some folks just drape a clean cloth over the crock. While I'm not familiar with the growing season in central FL you should expect to find pickling cukes around the same time as vine-ripened tomatoes, eggplants and peppers are available - YUM! you’re on the right track – just make sure the cucumbers are submerged.

As a potter, I didn't even know they existed. I completed a one gallon crock and a two gallon crock in the last two days. I made lids, and a disk with finger holes to weight down the cukes. They look really cool, and I am excited to see how they work! Had my first request to make a pickle crock. As a potter, I didn’t even know they existed.
