Harvesting and Drying Herbs
Being a landscape designer in Santa Clarita, and a huge edible gardening fan, I am happy to say that it is the height of the season for a lot of my favorite herbs. My basil is looking and tasting fabulous (as long as I trim off the flowers) my oregano is trailing lazily over […]
