Morning all got a bug going after tomato.
Right now think there is a personal rice maker bought a cool
pistol style tire charger great little unit.
My little dehydrator is a Vonshelf.
I keep a pot of water on the wood burner put hydration in the house.

Yup! My son and I saw his commercial and he was making jerky. We got all excited and the day the thing came E. coli was all over the news. I never did do any jerky, I got grossed out, you know?

I have to admit I always want to laugh every time I think about Ron Popeil, wasn’t it Saturday Night Live that did a sketch about the Ronco Bass-o-Matic? And the Chinch Ranch?

I wanted to get a Mr. Microphone, but sadly, never did...

I can't air dry anything here with our humidity. Mom can hang stuff outside and it's dry a couple hours later

Yeah, I tried to dry some herbs by hanging them in the shade on the back porch. They all turned brown.

My "new" dehydrator is working great! The parsley is already dry and crispy and in a storage container.

I have oregano in it now and when it's done I have a bunch of tarragon leaves to dry. Thyme after that. I wish I had rosemary but it didn't make it through the winter.

Dry parsley on left, rinsed oregano leaves in repurposed meat tray.


Rinsed, drying tarragon leaves.


Oregano...


The mess...

I need to go pick catnip. I have relatives I take bags to for their cats. My cats only like the growing tips fresh and dont get high

 

[Smokerbill]

I forgot. I have marjoram to dry too.

Thyme...Marjoram

[Smokerbill]

Not me, but thanks. There was quite a bit growing in one of my garden beds and I got rid of most of it.

I hung mine in a climate controlled room in the garage. Worked great. That was several years ago. I don’t grow many herbs now. Well I don’t grow much of anything. lol

That is one thing that does grow here.
