Herb drying

Herbs are fun to grow because they are far less picky than veggies - in general, they like to be ignored and they like bad soil. We also love to use them in the kitchen. Today, I harvested mint, tarragon and savory, and put them up to dry. We mainly use the dried mint for tea.

I'll have to think about trying other herbs next summer. One of my very favorites is rosemary but I don't usually bother to dry any because it is winter hardy here (well, usually) and can picked from the garden year-round as needed. We did get several oregano plants and one sage plant started and those will be harvestable next year. It's worth doing.
