However, I share my herbs with family & friends and only way to ship them easily is dried. This year I'm growing a tea garden and will dry all 7 mints in hopes my Scottish friend will enjoy them for her tea breaks. Any suggestions on ways to pep up what may be bland mints?Deborah Ropernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861562129126489326.post-12769766900505538772012-06-05T16:23:43.388-04:002012-06-05T16:23:43.388-04:00I never thought about freezing my herbs!

Six to seven inch sprigs with the lower leaves removed. Place the container in a sunny window (five to six hours of light). They should root in a week. Replace the water every five or six days.<br /><br />You probably won't get enough basil The Herb Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582909620746871601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861562129126489326.post-39195196087363476112011-09-15T09:52:18.499-04:002011-09-15T09:52:18.499-04:00This was very helpful!
