Here's my 2nd squash dehydration experiment. As you can see, my dehydrator is not huge. This is a Nesco American Harvest dehydrator, which comes with four trays. You can buy more trays and the directions say that it will handle 12 trays at a time, but so far I've made do with the original four.
I was able to fit one 8-ball and one crookneck squash on this tray. I brushed them with coconut oil, and lightly seasoned them with a parsley, salt and garlic powder mix. It will take about 10 hours to dry these.
I have a big garden area out back, but I hadn't finished planting my veggies when I broke my ankle a few months ago. I really didn't feel like mucking about in the dirt with my compression boot, so I decided to plant a couple of stragglers in two half-barrels I have right outside the kitchen door. The one on the left is an Armenian cucumber, the one on the right is a yellow crookneck squash. So far they're doing just fine in their limited growing areas.
Nice, things are looking more sleek and streamlined over here :)

ReplyDeleteSee how I figured out how to line the words up on the right? I'm on a steep learning curve here; not too hard when I don't know anything to begin with!
ReplyDeleteYeah, word verification is a pain in the butt. It usually takes me 4 or 5 tries before I can read the thing.
Hi there! I often see your comments on Charlotte's Blog and thought I'd pop over. I have a very small yard, so I do quite a bit of gardening in containers. Most of the time it works well. :)
