Dehydration time also depends on the weather. Much easier to expel moisture from crops if the surround air is dry - takes much longer on dull, damp days. #GardenersWorld

Yay! Monty is a dehydrator fan too! Love my ones - great tool to have in the kitchen if you grow your own fruit and veg, #GardenersWorld

Hmmm... I wonder if we could have @TobyBuckland visiting "new" (about to be restored) gardens as a series in next year's #GardenersWorld? Or maybe a series of his own?
