You can separate it quite easily when you need some. I have heard other people say that they freeze it in ice cube modules. |

Mine are in pots, so I've just moved them into the unheated GH and carried on snipping a bit as and when it's needed...next spring I'm planting one out and repotting the other, although I might split them into four or more if this is possible.. |

We usually have it fresh most of the winter, from the veg garden. It dies back to the ground if it gets pretty cold, but sprouts up like crazy within a few days. (Of course an extended period of real cold will do it in.) Then we plow under in the end-february cleanup and start again. -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to ecom by removing the well known companies |

And it's not worth drying it: only freezing preserves the flavour. -- Mike. |

And it's not worth drying it: only freezing preserves the flavour. With regard to this, I found some small red packets of frozen herbs in Sainsbury. I can't remember the name but they're like mini ice cube trays and I remember garlic and parsley being among the herbs frozen. They're very convenient to use and would be good for people who don't grow their own. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |
