Carol & Jamie of 2GalsHomesteading.com are your homesteading co-hosts. Jamie practices homesteading skills in town. Carol homesteads on the farm.
We are talking about freeze dryers and water melon.
When you’re stranded along the interstate and a semi-truck full of watermelons stops and offers to teach you about watermelons, the driver pretty much has you as a captive audience. Learn everything Carol knows about how to tell if your watermelon is ripe and how to choose a sweet, ripe melon on the grocery store.
Carol and Jamie also talk about their initial experences with their Harvest Right Freeze Dryer. They also take a question from Facebook’s Small Farm, Sustainability & Homestead Living Group. Becky asks about how to indentify a ripe watermelon. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/SmallFarm/posts/10162073122983065/)
