I’m a little excited, I’ve been able to harvest several bunches of chocolate mint and garden sage over the last week, so I’ve popped them into the dehydrator. The mint is destined to be become tea, as well as a winter treat for the rabbits (and if this mint continues to do as well as it has, I’ll have an abundance). The sage will be used in seasoning pasta sauce and other savory dishes… if I didn’t already mention it, the sage actually survived the winter and returned this spring, which I found shocking as it hasn’t done that before.
The garlic is bustling along, and the first ten scapes have now been removed and chopped up for dehydrating. Once it’s done, I’ll be able to grind it up for garlic powder.
Nest on the docket will be dehydrating oregano to make another batch of herb-infused olive oil… wouldn’t you know it, I just ran out! The other herbs I still need to harvest once the plants are robust enough are rosemary and thyme…both of these plants are pretty small, and harvesting any amount would be detrimental. Patience is key, I suppose.
