If you Google for "drying tomatoes," you will find numerous websites dealing
with drying your own tomatoes. However, the first few I saw mentioned 10 or
12 days outside, plus having to bring the tomatoes in at night. I think it
may simply be way too humid here to leave cut tomatoes for that length of
time (even covered, retrieved at night, etc.)

I have been using my dehydrator and making my own sundried tomatoes.
Yummy.

Talk a bit about that. Are you (or anyone?) using the blast heat from
the sun to dy tomatoes or other vegetables?
If so, how think, how do you keep the bugs off while drying, what is
the screening material they dry on, etc?
Seems a shame to waste all that free solar energy scorching my back
deck these days. I've dried blueberies that way, but never cut veggies.
Thoughts?
