Been trying to freeze-dry summer squash and onions for the last couple weeks. first pic is the freeze-dryer. The squash and onions turn out nice and dry and light. The squash plants are 4 to 5 feet tall and producing good so far. last year we had crop failure on squash--this year ----well --FLOODED with them! lol! ---I'm not complaining since every year has different production. We try to put up 3 to 5 year supply of produce when we have it to tide us over during the lean years.
