I will be growing it again. I had trouble first year with the rabbits eating it all. This past year the seeds didn’t germinate well, not sure why. I only had 2 plants survive. Since we love chamomile tea, I’m hoping to get a lot going this summer.

I can’t believe the chammomile didn’t like your garden! I’m weeding a chammomile lawn this spring. It’s take over everything! You should try again this summer.

I do!!! I’ve dried lemon balm & mint for teas this winter. I also dug up my lemon balm & rosemary and have them on the counter in the kitchen. I’ve dried thyme, celery, savory, dill, parsley, chives and cilantro for cooking. Yum! Savory is my all-time favorite and it goes in everything.

I grow Basil but I make into pesto to feed my pesto addiction. None leftover for drying :( I can only grow one plant since I live in very small appartment with no balcony. My only windowsill is monopolised by my Aloe Vera which seems to want to take over my appartment and then the world.

No. I don’t dry my herb. I just use them fresh.

I dry herbs for both seasoning and medicinal purposes. I typically use my drying rack, but depending on the plant material will pull out my dehydrator.
