I can not wait to bite into these babies! We will have about 4 ready in a week to pull off and eat. The rest are in various sizes/stages of growth and will provide us with Cantaloupe through out the summer.
Todays harvest. I planted way to many sweet peppers this spring, they are coming out of my ears. I will dry half of them and freeze the rest. There is a beetle critter getting to my tomatoes, so I pulled a few to see how well they will ripen on the vine in my window seal. The green beans should be ready to pick in about a week as well. I am ready for something new to harvest!

How do you dry your produce? With an electric food dehydrator?
Everything looks yummy! :-)
I do use an electric dehydrator my neighbor gave me when she moved. Green (sweet) peppers dry wonderfully and then you can just throw them in soups or whatever you are making.
I try and think of ways other than freezing because you never know when your electricity might go out and then you could loose everything.
I have seen that many folks sun dry their foods, but I have too many little hands, beaks and paws that would get into it, plus flies...yuk!
I am so impressed!!!! :)
Great garden.
