I was weeding my garden the other day, and I am rather pleased with the results…Especially the herbs! I have a large amount of thyme, oregano, lavender and mint.  The mint I use on a regular basis and I am not too concerned with thinning it.  The others, however, are truly out of control. If you are having similar issues with your herb garden, you can cut it back and thin in out, but what to do with all of the lush, perfumed harvest.

One thing I do, is bundle them together with some kitchen string at the stems, and hang them to dry. After about two months, you can then pick the dried leaves and store them in a jar to use throughout the winter.
