Jack likes to play with the dehydrator and will dry everything he picks from the garden. I think I did a blog post a couple of years ago about it! Our blueberries have actually grown this year. We've been working on getting the soil more acidic and it's working! yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-86831979798354304232013-07-31T08:44:30.748-07:002013-07-31T08:44:30.748-07:00Back in the day when I was younger and had all my ...Back in the day when I was younger and had all my kids at home, I did a lot of canning and dehydrating. I always enjoyed having all of the dehydrated food. Yes, I did veggies and fruits. The kids loved them as snacks. We lived in an area where fruit was abundant and inexpensive to buy in bulk. I had a large garden, as did other family members. It all sounds like so much work now, but I enjoyed it at the time. I had an electric dehydrator, and I had screens where I dried fruit and veggies in the sun. That all was another lifetime ago.<br /><br />I wish I could grow blueberries here! I love them. We can't grow any food in this area because of the bears. My how my life has changed.
