³When summer comes, grow an herb garden.  Dry the herbs in the dehydrator.

Sorry, Warrior but I must have missed your original post.
I have a dehydrator and use it a lot during the summer, too. I dried tomatoes

chunks and they turned out quite well. They take up a lot less storage room

than jars of canned tomatoes. I've dried basil, mint, jalapeno peppers,

celery, onions and apple slices. We dried grapes when they were the cheapest

and made delicious raisins.  You can make fruit leathers with many different

pureed fruits. My favorite is yogurt leather made with flavored yogurt just

like the fruit leathers.
I have never grown tarragon but I'd like to try different herbs this year. I

use a lot of basil and dill and that is what I usually grow.
