Basil mint? What is basil mint? We grow rosemary, my favourite, as well as parsley, oregano, lemongrass, basil and chives. I just love having fresh herbs at handy, they add the best flavours!
It's a mint, but it smells and tastes like basil! I LOVE parsley, I have some self seeded ones coming up and two bags in the freezer before the last plants went to seed.
I've never thought of drying herbs, and I've only just started a growing a few on my balcony - rosemary, corriander, parsely & basil. What are good herbs for drying?
What a great idea Alicia! I am a serial plant killer, so far I am yet to even keep herbs alive - but we have just had another go at planting some over the school holidays, if they survive I will have to give it a go.

DeleteWe have rosemary (it's out of control!), mint, parsley, coriander, basil and chives! Just love having them around and drying them! :)
ReplyDeleteRosemary does get a bit out of control, I have chives too and was excited to see a coriander plant coming up from seed.
DeleteI need to re plant my herb garden. Great idea to dry your own.
ReplyDeleteI need a herb garden. You have me inspired. Great photos

ReplyDeleteYou can dry anything, I also freeze soft herbs(like parsley) when the plants start to go to seed, so its not wasted.
