Drying Herbs From Your Garden
If you don’t have a dehydrator, herbs can still be pretty easy to dry. Just do it like people did in the olden days. Pull your herbs up. Remove any yucky looking leaves. Rinse your plant off. Dry your plant really well. (You don’t want it to mold.) Hang your plants upside down in a dark, cool room and let them dry out. Sage leaves are larger and more prone to mold than other leaves. I don’t usually dry sage, but other herbs dry well. If you don’t have a really dark room. Put a brown paper bag with holes around the herbs and let them dry in there. The light can cause the leaves to discolor. Once the leaves are COMPLETELY dry. Place them in a clean glass jar to be used throughout the winter.

What do you mean by “Drug your plant really well”? Do you mean dry your herb well before handing upside down?
Thanks.
I love all your gardening tips. They inspire me to garden more. :>
Herb gardens smell fantastic at this time of year, and for the next couple of months also. How sweet it is to sit out on the decking and enjoy the sight, sound and smells of a garden!
Very true!! I love gardens. (-:
I dry my garden herbs using the paper bag method. I don’t poke holes in the paper bag I just leave it as is and fold over the top to keep the dust out. Every day or so I give the bag a quick shake so the leave won’t stick together. It works great! I love having mint from my garden all winter long for tea on cold winter days. FOR FREE!
