Drying produce

The first year I planted stuff all I got was onions. I gave them to my neighbors, because I don't care for onions. (Don't ask me why I planted them.) Last year, I only planted tomatoes...and I ate everyone the squirrels didn't eat. This year, I plan to have so many vegetables and herbs that I do plan on drying, pickeling and canning some. We'll see how well it goes. I have a de-hydrator and that's what I'm planning on using. Don't know if it'll work, but I'm going to try it nevertheless, especially on my herbs (cilantro, basil, rosemary, etc.).
