Default Drying fresh rosemary

I'm wondering why you want to dry rosemary, or thyme and sage for that
matter. They are all extremely hardy and we prefer to pick them fresh
from outside through the winter, as needed.


Not everybody lives where these herbs are winter hardy, though I always
keep a couple of rosemary plants indoors in a south window, with lights
helping out.
You're reading this newsgroup through gardenbanter in the UK, but it's
really an international usenet group.

As for drying rosemary, just hang up a few branches and strip the leaves
when they're dry. Dead easy.
