Do you think you could do blueberries? And would they turn out like those raspberries? That would rock!

Yes you can dehydrate blueberries, the instruction say you need to boil for a minute or so to split the skin, I don't know if they would dry like raspberries or cherries.

Blueberries come out about half the size of raisins & similar to raisins. My aunt has 6 blueberry bushes so works well for her. Wouldn't be worth drying them if you had to buy them first. I order mine from Azurestandard.com

Les,
if you would be interested I have a solar heater panel here you can look at to model one after or I can point you to the folks that make them. this 4x8 panel will put out an equal amount to a 3 ton heat system. In 25 degree weather the output air is over 130 directly at the panel I use 8 in. duct work to connect to the structures and a solar powered motor so it only operates when the sun is out. Call if you would like to discuss, it is european design and verty efficient.

Hello Jarvises,
How is everyone out your way? Have been wondering how Stephanie's sister is doing.
My LF Buff from you all is setting on her first bunch of banties for me.

There is a bug I have never seen before on my potatoes and lentils at first I thought it might be a bad bug, but then started wondering if it were in fact eating the aphids. Anyway can anyone identify it?

 

[old*cowboy]

He is sure a strange looking creature

Looks like the larvae of something magnified several times.
