Made some today. 2 Tbs sea salt, 2 cups water,

That's about right.

1 tsp or so pickling spices (hopefully the right sort), and about 4 cloves of
garlic.

I've always thought those were optional. Couple red pepper pods,
garlic, and a head of dill would be enough... but, to each his own.

Hope they turn out well.

"Incubate" and save a few tbsp. of the brine for the next batch. It'll
go faster.

Which end is the blossom end?

The one opposite the stem. rounded, with a circular dinkum on it where
the blossom was.
