Oh yeah, picked one last meal worth of fresh green beans.
You put cucumbers in the dehydrator? How do they taste?
Like dried chewy cucumbers.
Actually I think they have a (very) slightly sweet taste. But that might just be me, if someone else tried them they'd probably say "no they don't". I think they do.
This time I want to see if I can get them dry enough to grind into powder. I tend to experiment. I've dried pickles too.

sorry...I just can't see the appeal in eating dried cucumbers, but then, I've never tried them.

I like that you are adventurous. I think I'm going to leave all the various pepper plants where they are and see what happens. After all the tree leaves are down I'll spread them throughout the garden then put a layer of large burlap coffee bags over the entire area in hopes of the area being ready to go come Spring.

From the larger coffee roasters I deal with. I think you have a few down there don't you? CL should have bags also. I see people ask for bags on Nextdoor fairly often, you might check there.

But why would they be any worse or better dry?

I cover my gardens with leaves. Don't you have leaves? It's either that or tell it again and plant rye grass or whatever.

I've had a few people up here say the burlap is great to cover the garden with. I think you just leave it down and plant right in it come Spring. Maybe keeps the weeds down a bit too?

OK so I admit I took the Evelyn Woodhead sped redding course.
I don't think the burlap will be rotted out over winter. But maybe you mean you just cut a hole in it and plant? But then how can you till?
Anyway I don't see the reason for the burlap? I let the leaves decompose and till them in to the soil in the spring.
I love how well the leaves decompse improve the soil. The giant night crawlers love it too. I feel guilty and kind of stupid when I rake leaves just so things look better.

Way, way back, when I was still in HS my dad called me outside. He had a question. He pointed to a red japanese maple seedling I was growing in a pot and wanted to know "is that marywanna?" Of course I had to say no and explain what it was and where it came from... I just didn't point out the real pot I had growing about six feet away.
But I was honest so it's OK, right?

Do you mean in the window? Like avocado seeds or pineapples? I think you need a LOT of light and warmth.
