While Hubby was out planting our pumpkin plants this weekend, he happened to trim a bunch of oregano. His quick trip into the house resulted in me exclaiming, "how pretty, let me get my camera!"
The oregano that we planted last year has been especially vigorous recently with the mix of warmth and rain.
We decided that the best way to be sure to use all this oregano was to dry it, which required separating the one large bouquet into several small ones.
With twine tied tightly around the stems, the little bouquets are dried hanging upside down in paper bags. The bags keep the oregano free from dust and debris.
It just a few days, the leaves will be nice and dry and can be removed from stems. Stored in a nice tight jar for extra freshness, there's nothing like using your own herbs in the kitchen.
Wouldn't dried herbs make the loveliest holiday gifts?
I'll have my assistant get on that...
There is no assistant, but I'm making a list of things for him/her to do anyway! ; )
