I don't have a dryer. Hang on racks, but hang in the basement if it's wet out.

We use a gas dryer, too dusty during summer and in spring everything is coated in a yellow pollen dust.
We have a 500 gallon propane tank for the house. We could get two years out of it, but we keep it topped off every fall.

Sooooo many tomatoes! Made two gallons of pasta sauce today. Roasted Big Jim green chili on the porch today. Peeled and steamed them, put 3 qts in the freezer.
I need your system! Ha. It took me all day just make a few and I'm still not through them all. We have probably half a bushel more we gathered today.
And I am now VERY ready for winter.
Only thing we had a lot of this year was tomatoes, multiple varieties! Was a good year for tomatoes (for us)...

I get buckets and buckets of heirloom cherry tomatoes. I put them on a baking sheet with some olive oil and roast them till they split. Then, cook up some onion and italian spices and garlic in olive oil, throw it all in a huge pot, and let it cook all day. Cool it down, blend it up. Not too hard. We'll keep getting tomatoes for another month. Some in the freezer, some in the freeze dryer. The squash just finished. I got a good number of small sweet pumpkins, and already baked and processed those for pies this winter.

More and more my wife is buying into the lifestyle. She had herbs drying all over the house. I suggested getting a dehydrator. She researched and we got a freeze dryer delivered yesterday.
Today she she made picked peppers out of the garden peppers today. She is buying in.

That is so wonderful! Hey, it took my Hunny awhile too, but he has been on board for a few years now.
I just received my order of Health Ranger's Hawaiian Astaxanthin 12mg 50 gelcaps.
Everyone should stock up on all there supplements and medicine.

Nice. Is that house for me? LOL
I never thought about freeze drying Peanut Butter to make into a powder but that is a great idea for long term storage.
That one is for my parents and has an Xtra bedroom. I have lots of room for a camper or tent.

Last weekend we had to pickup my wife’s outfitting her new workshop, 2-2x4 Stainless tables,2x2 table, 8ft commercial sink, and 36in commercial stove. She didn’t do bad, 10 cents on the dollar, example-commercial stove for $43.
Of course I am bearing the brunt getting it all cleaned up. At least the stove was already converted to propane. She is going to have a top of the line Canning/Cast Iron restoration room

I spent most of the day working on putting up the fencing for the new chicken run. Only got 100 feet done today, 200 feet more to go. Had to make a tool for stretching this wire.
