Harvest Your Bounty!

Harvesting &
Storing Herbs

Harvest the herbs and edibles you grown and dry them

out for later use or process them before they spoil.

Store Herbs & Spices separately or combine into blends to

use when you need them for cooking, pickling, canning, teas,

tinctures / extracts, topicals, baths, soaks or other herbal remedy.

Harvesting
Herbs & Edibles

Harvest plants during the mid-morning, after the dew has dried and before the heat of the day starts.

Use a basket or other containers and sharp scissors or a knife. Collect your herbs in bundles and wrap in twine for hanging until dry.

Label & Date herbs so you are 100% sure of what you are consuming.

Fresh - Last only a few days so process them quickly before they wilt, then rot

Ground or Powdered - last up to 6 months

Dried - can last for a long time, up to a few years. (see chart below)

Store in Airtight containers either glass or BPA free plastic; away from extreme in temperatures (cool is better) and light.

Label and Date your containers.
