Canned another dozen jars of green beans today. Pulled out the plants and planted another batch cause I had leftover seed. If they do okay I should get another crop end of September if they don’t well then we’ll consider them good soil builders.  Tomatoes are just starting to ripen and I’m tired of eating cucumbers already

My dehydrator runs almost everyday. For the cheap model it is , I've no regrets. It's on it's 5th year.
Your wife can certainly hang herbs as romance but they just don't dry enough for storage without increased airflow.
We just prefer to jar them after dehydrate for longterm purposes.
On left is oregano and 2 on right are basil. Rosemary is in there now drying.


What brand dehydrator?

 We have used these for well over 25 years and well worth the extra cost of the round styles. I'm sure you can shop around for a better deal   https://www.target.com/p/...s&adgroup=72-10ure     Our ovens have  dehydrator settings also. The old lady don't appreciate us making hot sticks and jerky in them though.

I'm finally getting some tomatoes. I'll probably do a batch for sauce by midweek. I've been catching up in the garden last 4 days. I took today off from the Big Lake, so this will be 5 in a row for outside work. It's amazing how quickly things pile up when neglected. πŸ™„πŸ˜†. Eh, I'm thinking atleast a good month is left, maybe even into later September if she let's us on. 🀞πŸ›₯🎣🐟.

The brand is rosewill. 5 trays round. Probably a Wally walk in out or an Amazon purchase.
It works ok. I had 2 going . There's better but this works for my needs. Does jerky well also.

I can't begin to write my farm and garden weekend except, BUSY !!
The homestead grabs a good facelift as well.
Happy gardening....

The outside kitchen is busy today.
Last week we caned 12 quarts tomato sauce and 6 pints bread and butter pickles.
Today we're looking at around 20 quarts sauce and 12 pints of dill pickles.
Super busy time on the farm and garden.
Pigs have a butcher date of first week of September and the chickens pretty much around then as well.
Hopefully we'll be all said and done by mid September to focus on the wild game harvesting.
Cameras are showing nice antlers roaming around.

Dehydrator arrived today. In the tread it was mentioned to do herbs at 115. The next question is β€” How long?
