Home dried herbs



Making home dried herbs is easy – just grow them and dry them.

Sharon is keeping a close eye on the pots of herbs on her patio. There is rosemary, two types of oregano, masses of curly parsley, chives, dill, sage and other tasty leaves. These are now being added to salads and summer dishes.

To prepare for winter, the herbs are cut regularly and laid out on a big wooden tray. When the sun is shining this is put outside but when there is a hint of rain, and Sharon is an excellent weather predictor, the tray moves to a windowsill inside.

If you are not already doing so, get going with your own herb drying to see you through the long winter months.
