I'll be doing some harvesting tomorrow!
I would say that basil and parsley are one of the trickiest herbs to keep the flavor when drying. After I dry them hanging or on a wire rack the trick is not to crush them but carefully put it in a glass jar and crush them only right before use. It is actually very flavorful that way.
How does cilantro turn into coriander.?? TY
Awesome
Love my fresh herbs and spices. And really enjoy drying them like this when I have time and space.
Thank you. I love growing herbs. I have hang dried them before. But I still learned a few new ideas.
I have a couple questions:
How long do you hang them. I'm always afraid they're not dry enough(to avoid mold). So I end up over drying them. Are yours in a cool or warm part of your house?
I like your hanging setup. Did you build that or was it part of a small ladder that you hung up?
Want the lemon thyme
I can't keep risemary alive, indior or outdoor
Cutting those herbs must have smelled divine!
We only hang dry herbs, suggest everyone else does just as Luke does as well….
Learned so much from this video!
I would love any of the thyme you have.
I’m running out tomorrow and harvesting my sage, lavender and rosemary to hang. Thanks for a great video
I always hang my herbs to dry but wasn’t sure why! I’ve got a dehydrator and freeze dryer but never used them for herbs! I need to go cut more of my rosemary. 😊
I don’t have a place to hang dry anymore, so I use my air fryer. I clip stems, I don’t pack down the herb stems in the basket but do loosely stack and fill it up. 300° for around 6 mins for my oregano, rosemary and basil. Then crunch the leaves off with your hand and toss the stems. I vacuum seal in jars so they keep until next year when a new harvest is ready. So quick and easy. Makes great gifts too.
How about drying peppers?
My Rosemary lived 15 years here in the mountains. Then died. Wish I knew what variety it was. I dry all my herbs in the dehydrator for winter. I use them fresh all season then in Sept start drying enough for the winter. Sage is best to dry whole and bottle whole as it retains the oils that way. Parsley and basil I grind and bottle. JAFYI
Yes, French Thyme please. Would you also please consider French Tarragon, which does not grow from seed?
I would love it if you started selling the French and Winter Thyme to add to the common English, lemon and German thyme I already have.
I find freeze drying basil works very well. My herb garden has been doubling in size every year for the past few years. This year I grew several varieties of basil from your seeds. Italian large leaf, Tulsi, lemon, dark opal, dwarf Greek, mammoth, Thai, cinnamon, Genovese, and spic globe. Next year I'm adding lime, licorice and purple ruffles.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon.
Matthew 24:7-14
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
This is happening as you read.
Revelation 12:1-2
1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.
This sign has appeared this year in the sky as described in the Bible. Time is over, repent of your sins, the only way to salvation is Jesus Christ.
We are going to be caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Woe to the nuclear families separated at the time of separation.
I have lemon thyme in my garden. I have to harvest often.

So interesting learning the differences between spice and herb. I guess I never thought about it. I tried basil 4 ways this past summer, fresh, air dried, dehydrated and freeze dried. I determined that yes, fresh was best. Air dried was great but it took a long time, then freeze dried was pretty much the same, but dehydrated was probably my least favorite.
Please carry more thyme varieties. And having plugs to purchase would be great,if you can ship them to other states.
