RE: [Homesteadingfamily] What are you planting?

A couple of my good friends have Excalibur dehydrators, the 9 tray version. They LOVE them and use them ALL the time. Definitely worth the investment. I can't wait to get one. J

Does anyone know what is the best dehydrator to get? I have seen some that have the fan in the back which sounds like would be best instead of on bottom! Which ones have the fewer problems and easy to operate! Any help and suggestions are appreciated, and thanks in advance! Judi

Hi Angelia,

I feel your pain! We have a small garden and it so hard to figure out what to plant and what will have to wait. This year I am trying a few new things, including: companion planting, doing more vertical planting and also sticking random veggie plants into the various nooks and crannies around the yard. LOL! Hey, I'm desperate so I have to be creative.

I'm also trying very hard to plan my garden very carefully around things that will give a good yield, that I can enjoy fresh and also can, freeze or dehydrate and that doesn't take up too much room. I also tried to make a list of the things we eat most such as salsa, tomato sauce, green beans, kale, etc... and make sure we plant a lot of those things.

I've been getting lots of seed catalogs~ I'm trying to figure out WHERE I
am going to plant things! I have almost ZERO yard, and would love ideas!
I think I'm going to get a raised bed at least in the back where we park~
We have the lumber, will just have to get the dirt~

What sorts of things do you want in your garden this year?

What do you do with the produce that isnt eaten right away? Can it?
freeze it? Dry it???
