When to Harvest

Pick herbs mid-morning after dew dries. Pre-flowering leaves have peak essential oils.

Drying Method

Bundle stems loosely, hang upside down in airy dark space. Rack drying works for individual leaves.

Storage

Crumble dried leaves into jars once brittle. Label with date. Most herbs keep potency 6-12 months.
