My herbs are large enough now to start harvesting a good amount from each plant! I’ll also show you how I dry my herbs which is a super simple process that also looks really cute.

Looks great
Your garden looks amazing! Everything looks lush and healthy.
I love using my dehydrator to infuse dried herbs into oil. Then use the oil for lotions, soaps or salves. Sooo worth it. Love my x-caliber.
Question: How much debris accumulates on the floor under your drying rods? I want to try this on a similar wall in my dining room but I worry about the potential mess… 😂
Love your little drying station 😉 Wow !!! Everything does look like it has doubled in size in one week 😜
I have a dehydrator and it works really well, I think once you get it, you’ll find you use it for lots of other things. I dehydrate my cherry tomatoes and make my own sun-dried tomatoes. I have a question though, I noticed you don’t have saucers under any of your pots. I don’t either, but I’m kind of concerned with the amount of water that is draining through onto my deck. Is that a concern for you? Thank you for your great videos!
Hello, don’t you just love July when everything looks lush . I got good info on herb harvesting. I grow several types of basil. Your garden is so pretty.
I liked the way you have taken us through each step of the process. Liked the twine holder as well. QQ, what do you do after washing/rinsing of the herbs ? do you hand dry it using paper towels, before tying it up to avoid any molds? sorry if i missed that part.
Lemon balm is super invasive. Many years ago I planted it in my garden not realizing it. The lemon balm choked out all my other plants. I had to recultivate my whole garden & replant. I actually found it for years later growing in random places. It does flower so maybe seeds were blown into your pot. I felt same way about a dehydrator. I'm telling you I don't think you'll regret buying one. I still hang herbs & flowers because it's pretty. But there's soo many flowers that won't air dry.
Maybe it's like when a gardener will say about a random plant in the garden. "A bird must've pooped a seed here" 😂
Your herbs look incredibly lush! What size pots are most of them in, and how much water do you give them? I always thought that herbs don't like a lot of water. That is funny about the surprise lemon balm. I had a similar situation where I grew tomatoes from seed, and I realized that one was not like the others. I had no idea what it was, or how it got there, but it turns out that it was a lemon cucumber plant according to Google lens! I never planted cucumber – in fact, I don't even like cucumbers, LOL! 🤣
Where do you get your Terra cotta containers from ?
Hi Bethany, I’m a new subscriber to your channel. Love your videos! Where did you get all of your mint varieties? I’m having a hard time finding chocolate, apple etc.
This is a pretty beautiful garden you've got there girl. I love it. More grace. Blessings!
