We have spent our summer nurturing our herbs. Now, summer is winding down and it is time to reap the rewards. I have let some of the herbs bloom and produce seeds. Last night, I was harvesting seed and wondered what you have planned.

So far I have saved seed from mints, catnip and oregano. I have picked some of the Bay leaves to dry and store in a canning jar. A real treat this summer was making a Lemon Verbena jelly. It has a wonderful taste. I gave some away and ate some so need to harvest more L. Verbena leaves I guess.

Please share your plans and ideas to save, use and enjoy your herbs for the winter months ahead.
