Growing your own herbs in your garden is a great and beautiful thing; not only do you have an amazing-looking garden, but you’ll also have a ready supply of fresh herbs that can add flavor and zing to any dish that you are cooking!
The trick to getting the best flavor out of any herb is to use them fresh, but herbs don’t really grow during winter, so you need to make sure that you’re able to harvest and preserve them correctly to get the best flavor.
Check out the blog below to get tips on how to properly preserve your garden herbs.
