Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why do people dry freshly picked mint and lavender stems?
Drying preserves the essential oils in the plant leaves and flowers, allowing them to be stored for months to make herbal tea, sachets, or culinary seasonings.
When is the best time of day to harvest garden herbs?
Mid-morning is ideal because sun rays dry off early dew while the plant oils remain concentrated before afternoon heat sets in.
