20 Jul How to Dry and Save Herbs

The great advantage to growing your own herbs is that they don’t take up much room–you city dwellers can grow them in flower boxes on your window sill — and you can keep harvesting them throughout the growing season. To do so, pinch off the big leaves first (usually at the top). This will allow the younger leaves to thrive.
