Going to do this I have everything growing along with Rosemary. I have clipped a Rosemary, and put the stem in a water glass and changed the water every couple of days and little roots started to come out I let the roots get a half of inch long before I transplanted to my flower pot and soil.
I dried lovage and celery this past weekend. I tried your empty tray on the top and bottom of the dehydrator. WORKED GREAT!! The herbs dried faster and more evenly. THANK YOU once again for your knowledge!!!!
Shoot! I didn't know oregano is invasive! I am sitting here watching it grow bigger and harvesting it to dehydrate. Darn it, maybe I'll let it take over that area. I have been dehydrating oregano on the stems. When dry the leaves just rub right off. I am waiting on basil, parsley and thyme to cut again and make Italian Seasoning, thank you for this video!
Wonderful Bev ! Do you have any other homemade mixes we can try as l intend making some as gifts this year and would like one that people have tried and know are yummy. Thanks for another amazing video.
BEV!!!!!THOSE PARMESAN CHEESE LIDS WILL FIT ON A REGULAR MOUTH CANNING JAR!!!!!! Kneady Homesteader did a thing on it! It's great. I always save those tops. I didn't get to do any herbs this year except for mint. Next year I will be growing them.
Thanks for such a great video! Love your tips! I am a dehydrator because of you! Thank you! Do you bring your potted oregano in for the winter or just leave it out?
Good morning my Canadian friend. There is no comparison to drying your own herbs vrs buying them in a store. Dehydrating your own is so much better. I just finished with dehydrating garlic cloves. I ground it up and made garlic powder and garlic salt. Next is sage. Little by little it fills the pantry. Have a great day Mrs. V
I've just got a dehydrator, so thank you for this brilliant idea x Comfrey is another invasive, beautiful to look at and makes a good fertilizer, but it grew EVERYWHERE! Oh Russian tarragon too, pops up all over the place :)
Oh what I would have given to grown my own herbs. Next year I will work at getting back to normal after I lost my Howard. It will be two years in October, you never get over it, you just learn how to put one foot in front of the other. God Bless
I have to.many herbs from.my garden i even have oregano thats dried and grows wild on the mountain sides of Italy thats 7 years old and still smell fresh and is crispy.
Hi Bev, This is perfect timing, almost, chives here in NH have already gone to flower several weeks ago...I always cut them down and they grow right back up....this second growth has never flowered again, would you still cut/dehydrate from this second growth or do you only use chives prior to flowering for best flavor? I do have oregano, rosemary and thyme that I keep clipping and drying.....I've store them separate, don't know why I never thought to store them together for Italian seasoning, as we use that a lot! Thanks Bev ...your ideas/tips are sooooo useful! ~ Gail in NH
I now have a sage bush from a little plant sold in the fresh herb section. Intended for immediate use in the kitchen. The bush is now 3ft wide and covered in leaves.
I'm gonna do this today! I have oregano, basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, sage, and tarragon growing in buckets. I am missing chives but have some store bought. I'm going to make a concoction of that! Do you think the tarragon and thyme included would be good?
Every time I watch your videos I often wonder why I never thought of that. You have a lot of useful skills and ideas. Great video again!
Great idea on removing the leaves from the stem !! I always learn something new from you :)
Another great video great idea and I got to try this. Thank you for all that you do
Very nice! I never realized that about the temperatures, so thanks.
Thanks for sharing Bev so easy to get some flavour into our pantry. Much love from Thunder Bay Ontario

My Pleasure Honey!
Enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing. Loved when u said smell vision. 😇
Thank you!
I can only imagine how wonderful the smell and taste of these would be! God Bless
Ok....I dry my herbs as I pick them. Why have I never thought to do this?!
Thank you ma'am!
Nice herbs. Happy hot summer.
From hot humid north western Oklahoma.
What a great idea! I learned something....don’t dry herbs too hot! I just came in from giving my basil a hair cut so it was just in time, Thank you💚
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing with us🥰
What a great idea with how to remove the parsley stalks from the leaves. Thank you!

Hello 👋 ty for all of your knowledge. I love Italian seasoning. Xoxo
My Pleasure honey!
@@OurHalfAcreHomestead fully enjoyed
Love your channel! God bless❤️
Wonderful!!!!!!❤
I have chives throughout my garden. Didn't know what to do with them. Thank you for the information!
My Pleasure!
The Parmesan cheese lids also fit the Mason jars. I have several on my herb jars, they are awesome.
I didn't know that! I've been using the small peanut butter lids- I love learning🤗
Looks wonderful💜💜
Thanks for such a great video! Love your tips! I am a dehydrator because of you! Thank you! Do you bring your potted oregano in for the winter or just leave it out?
I knew about the mint being invasive but not the oregano. See, you really DO learn something new each day!

Prayers coming to you in this time of sorrow. Take your time. Don't let people tell you how to grieve or how long. God Bless you.
Wow, I have to make this , I love your vids, thank you
Love the way you say basil
God bless you too.

I have an AeroGarden and grow herbs year round and I also dehydrate and make my own seasoning mix
I had lemon verbena in my garden in nj and that is ver invasive also…. But, it smelled wonderful 💛
I love this....
Great idea! Thank you for sharing.
Quite interesting & informative. Thanks 👍
How many hours for drying the herbs. Love your video.
I bought a 4 tier hanging outside drying rack this year. My herbs dry in a day or 2 and the scents are a lot stronger than when I use my dehydrators.
I was hoping someone had a suggestion as I don't have a dehydrator. Thanks!
love this
Just wondering what else do you put in your Italian Seasoning? I use Garlic, Thyme, and Red Pepper Flakes plus most of the other stuff you put in.
I now have a sage bush from a little plant sold in the fresh herb section. Intended for immediate use in the kitchen. The bush is now 3ft wide and covered in leaves.
Awesome I need to make this also love home grown herbs
I make all my own spice mixes.
I'm gonna do this today! I have oregano, basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, sage, and tarragon growing in buckets. I am missing chives but have some store bought. I'm going to make a concoction of that! Do you think the tarragon and thyme included would be good?
oh, I'm missing, marjoram, but I have store bought so I'll add that.
I do some drying of my herbs. However, this time of year, using it fresh is wonderful.
Oh I am using fresh!
I'm going to try removing those lil thyme leaves using a large, but tiny holes metal strainer with the long handle thank you
tell howie to keep that full beard. loving your videos..
OREGANO is a great antibiotic.
Very true the higher the temp you dry/dehydrate at it lessens the nutritional value
It stayed such a pretty color after drying.
I heard that the parm lids fit a regular mason....
My basil is growing out of control! I call it my basil bush lol
We use Oreganol oil for everything from tinea to toothache!!
You can also pull herb stems through the small side of your grater.
I tried to dry my chives, basil and oregano also but after 3 days, yes 3 days, it still was not dry. I've resorted to hanging them up to dry.
It can be a humidity issue in some places
That lid will also fit a canning jar
no it is too small
Can u give an estimate of how long to have on dehydrator I think I leave on too long and lose all
Mine took 24 hours it depends on the humidity of your where you live
I purchased that same coffee/spice grinder and it was awful. Haven't been able to find me a good one yet
I like that. I've got to give my herbs a haircut and dehtdrate.
😁
True
I have so many things in those prego jars
😘
You want rosemary ? I've got lots I just cut and am hanging to dry on my back porch .
