Herbs make a pretty short list

I only have a few herbs in the yard. There is chamomile which reseeds itself, and lemon balm and mint which are perennial. I harvested chamomile and lemon balm yesterday to dry for tea. I live in a dry climate so I just put it in paper lunch sacks and set it out of the way until it is dry.




There are chives and garlic chives as well which I just cut and use. If there are a lot I freeze the extra. The garlic chives seem to be spreading throughout the back yard and make it smell interesting when we mow the grass.
