We harvested thyme and chives earlier, saving the parsley for last as it is frost tolerant. Despite the early snow, the weather has remained reasonably balmy, allowing us a November harvest.

Michael found our dehydrator at a garage sale years ago. It is an home built item and works like a charm.

It is built from plywood, with shelves made from window scteen material. The hole in the front and screened in area in the back create a chimney. A hot plate in the bottom provides an adjustable source of heat, with a small sheet of metal helping to diffuse the heat evenly. All in all, an elegant design.
