Hello and Welcome.

Other than a few handfuls of asparagus and a lot of green onions, this is our first harvest of the year. These strawberries will be eaten fresh, and some were added to our strawberry pancakes for breakfast. They are so sweet!

The green leafy stems are oregano. I will be drying them for future use. I usually just air dry my herbs either by laying them out on a newspaper or paper towel (since newspaper is hard to come by nowadays) or by tying them in a bundle and hanging them. Depending on the herb it may take a few days to a few weeks to completely dry. Then I store them in an airtight container for future use.

I expect that we will be harvesting strawberries throughout the month of June and maybe even throughout the summer as we have some plants that are the everbearing variety. The next herb I plan on harvesting, probably this week, is thyme.

Thanks for visiting.
