Oh Ive got my want on bad! Ive had the Excalibur 9-tray dehydrator on my oh-gotta-have list for a while. Then blog surfing this morning and someone pointed out that Excalibur had a glorious 5-tray in red. Oh my!!

Then I I went to check out their site and found that yes, they do have the 9-tray also in red!

Of course the difference between the normal (black) and the new colors is about $100 and nothing to sneeze at I do love the color!
Spring Peas
Im planning on getting a crop or two of spring peas planted this coming weekend. I think all I need are some buckets, but may be able to just use the containers Ive got and not have to spend any $$. That would be a bonus. My MIL gave me some containers last year that large bushes came in for her landscaping. They should be large enough to handle at least two pea plants a piece. My thought is to plant two this weekend and two next weekend and so on for the next month with the hopes of a nice continuous harvest of eatable peas for late spring/early summer.
