    What did you do in the garden today?

    I've got SOME leaves, but no fruit yet. The birds are having a party with the Concords. I should net them.

    Freeze Drying Digest

    You can do meats and eggs no problem, just so they're not dripping in grease fat. Rinse them, freeze them, pop off any extra cold grease and freeze dry. As for accessories, I got my extra pans from Cabelas, but you have a small, no idea if they carry that size in store or online. The corner...

    Lavender doesn't overwinter here either. BUT, guess what I found growing in the middle of my hay field this week?!?!It's almost 18 inches high and 24 wide. It doesn't have a strong smell. At first I thought it was rogue Russian sage, but the leaves are all wrong, and the flower timing is wrong...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    mine is a bucket with stones and a solar powered pump. They can find their own spot where they can safely stand and drink. Birdbaths are fine too. They sit near the water edge and drink. OC there's nothing wrong with a shallow, old baking dish full of rocks in and out of the water, and just add...

    The cheese is out. 12 hours Each tray held 4 cups and that fit easily into 1qt. It was on sale for $2 a 8pz -2 cup- bag and I use a LOT of it.

    I've been making a list of things we used to buy or want when camping/scouting, or things we wished we had. I'm keeping sweets w sweets, savory w savory, and stinky with stinky when I dry to not mix flavors. The tarts being an exception.

    make sure your chamber is 100% dry before you get things going again to avoid getting water in your pump I secure my hose to my mop bucket with a giant bull clip, flipping up the handles on the clip and running the hose through the loops in the handles. This keeps my hose far from the bottom of...

    If you wake up and it's been beeping for who knows HOW long, go ahead and SKIP opening the valve and add a couple/few more hours of drying time to get those trays warm and dry again. If the trays have gone cold, when you pull the food out it will immediately start to condensate on the food -...

    Do not do high fat items as they CAN go rancid faster - cook rinse and drain meats Chocolate is considered high fat 0 water, and does NOT freeze dry. I am not a fan of COOKED and then reconstituted eggs, they're rubbery. I have NOT tried raw egg yet, too many customers and no spare eggs to play...
