Today we harvested our first selection of herbs and now have bundles of sage, thyme, oregano and savoury hanging up to dry together with the same herbs plus some chives and garlic chives currently being frozen as ice cubes in the freezer. We have elected to freeze these in water rather than virgin olive oil but will try this other method later.
After a few experiments last year this a new thing for us and the herb garden is looking good so far even with the constant battle to keep the chickens out, we found one sitting on two eggs in the lemon balm yesterday how long she had been there is anybodies guess!! We have also planted dill, fennel, coriander, lemon/purple/normal basil and rosemary but these are taking longer to grow and mature, we still have spaces for a few more plants/seeds but have yet to decide on which victims we will practice on next!!
So any comments/tips/ideas or guidance on freezing/preserving/drying herbs would be more than welcome......
