Herb Drying

Since Ive moved my parsley into the house for winter, Ive started harvesting it to keep it going.

Just doing simple drying on top of the fridge, Ive amassed a small bag of dried branches which will go nicely in my cooking since I seem to use a lot of dried herbs.. Sometimes the fresh stuff is great in homemade pasta sauce but sometimes the dried is nicer too.

Now that I extended my kitchen windowsill with my homemade ‘sill extender’ I can stably put pots on it now, so next to my parsley I’ve got some basil starting.

Its a shame no other windows in the house are really capable of the same. They are too low (ie: good for the dog to get into) or not on the right side of the house for winter sun.
