Freezer... that is a good idea. I do that with flour sometimes when I buy by the 50lbs.<br /><br />KS, It is nothing special of a dehydrator. Bought it several years ago. Has three levels.<br />Tomatoes, what are those? We got blight :(<br /><br />Jodi, <br />Too long, wow. Mine took a couple hours if that. I pulled the leaves of and did w/o stems??<br />Herbs do last a while in the fridge if packaged properly.Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391306626662391336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-21345793304418751532009-09-28T12:18:55.795-04:002009-09-28T12:18:55.795-04:00We only planted basil and parsley this year (thoug...We only planted basil and parsley this year (though I hope to expand a little next year). I dried half of my basil in my dehydrater this weekend (and left the rest clean, dry, wrapped in paper towel and sealed in a zipper bag with all the air smooshed out in the fridge).<br /><br />I found it took too long, so I did a little research. <br /><br />Country Wisdom and Know How is a very informative book. You can freeze both basil and parsley! It's almost as good as fresh (just not as crisp, or so the book says). I'm trying that out this year because I could fill my bathtub with parsley right now. lolJodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720095586888793000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-12007216495567377022009-09-25T09:43:34.305-04:002009-09-25T09:43:34.305-04:00I think it may be time to check into a dehydrator....I think it may be time to check into a dehydrator..and grow some herbs. I don't herb much, but I'm willing to learn and I'm pretty happy with my small gardens this year,even with all our rain..hey! I never missed the rainbarrel I'm still waiting for!! Hopefully it will come in for next year.. and I need to sit down and write about this year, so I can repeat and improve on it. Got some compost/manure to locate and haul before the snow flies, but right now, I'm still picking tomatoes!! Can you tell me a little about the dehydrator that you have??Karen Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189370281390432351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-21683849029828094932009-09-25T08:39:59.808-04:002009-09-25T08:39:59.808-04:00One of the things I regret most about moving is le...One of the things I regret most about moving is leaving my established herb garden. But we've got plans for a new, improved one here.<br />I store my dried herbs in my freezer- for some reason I think they hold their flavor better. It's probably just my imagination- but it works for me.<br />JudyJudy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.com
