Fermentation in PROCESS!!!

This is my progress:

First I made the salt water brine, this way the salt had time to get mixed in well and balanced with the water.

 

Then I got all my supplies ready. I cut up all the veggies after washing them. I put the dill in first that way it is settled down at the bottom. Next, I put in my garlic and green peppers. I added an ingredient because the guy at the grocery store suggested it, I bought pickle seasoning and I added that after the green peppers.  After that, I had to cut up my cucumbers because the store was out of the small cucumbers and I figured if this turned out good my family can use it for sandwiches, although they turned out to be bigger then I expected so at the least my family can enjoy it at dinner time. Mustard green leaves are out of season, the grocery guy informed me, so I thought I could substitute green lettuce at the end to create a snug jar for the pickles to really absorb everything. So I then added the salt water brine and filled the jar to the top and then put the green lettuce on top to just hold everything down.           

With a few minor adjustments my cucumbers are in the fermentation process. Right now my observations are that everything looks still and green. The smell is pleasant, like a rainy day in the garden. These are the rest of my pictures for my progress.
