Hanging herbs

My tub herb garden literally exploded this summer.


I couldn't cut it back and use it fast enough so I decided to dry some of the oregano. Here it is freshly hung and ready to dry.


Just a week or so later and I'm ready to strip it...


and now we have 2 jars of  freshly dried Oregano.


Much better than the brownish dust you buy in the store!

I bet it does taste good. That stuff in the jars is nothing compared to doing it yourself. Best wishes, Tammy

I love condiments, and I will really like to be able to make my own because you are right, the ones from the stores are really not useful. Yours look really tasty and full of powerful aroma; they should make your food taste like heaven. Thank you for sharing.
