Do you agree?
Carrots...
I pulled a carrot... this is what I got!
It looks confused! Doesn't it?
From My understanding when carrots do this, the soil isn't loose enough... I can see that what I thought of my soil, isn't true, is it?
I will be pulling them this week instead. I want to make a carrot confiture, but I need cognac, which I don't have.
So off to market..
Dehydrating egg plants --
I have so many eggplants... I am swimming in them... well not really, but I am overloaded with them.
So dehydrating is the next best thing...
Slice eggplants a half inch thick ... dehydrate at 100° for 20 hrs.
when leathery, store in container and in a cool dry place.
Rehydrate in boiling water for 30 min. Then drain.
How easy is that....

On to drying Basil too... well as soon as I harvest them... (Need to harvest like yesterday),, but the bees love it so...
Everybody is very happy today!
