~ Sweet Basil ~ First Harvest ~



~ Before Clipping ~ And After Clipping ~

Next, as the Sweet Basil was filling and nice and bushy, and not yet blooming... Like the Oregano, I decided to harvest and dry it... Snipped it all back and spread it out to dry on the table... Now I am not sure if it will grow back for another crop...

~ Drying ~

~ Just Picked and Washed ~ After Drying a Few Hours ~

And Again like Oregano... into a 150 degree oven to dry a few hours... Then crumble up and store tightly in a jar... Ans again it looks like I got ALL of about two tablespoons again, maybe just a bit more... Easy to see how dried herbs are stronger than fresh, so much makes so little...
