Farming for Dummies

[plumtreeblossom]

I have herbs in the planter ready for harvest, but I don't know the first thing about how to properly dry them, particularly in this humid weather. I know about hanging herbs, but I wonder if they'll just rot and mold in the humidity. Should I own a food dryer?

It's okay for thyme to overgrow the container, though -- it just makes it look cooler. :)

You can also dry in your oven at the lowest temp, and also in the microwave.

This morning I discovered that my thyme has flowered. Is that a bad thing?
