I am finding that my herb bed it too small now :-(  so I am planning to build a few raised beds with the cold frames for the more invasive stuff, like mint, lemon balm and nettle. That will give me more space. I am redoing my herbs too, getting rid of stuff I am just not going to use and adding more medicinal herbs. I am going to make my own medicinal herb teas and salves this year.

I am moving things now, in the dry heat, but I fill the hole with water and water the transplants almost every day to get them through. You can move things if you are prepared to keep them damp for a couple of weeks, until they are growing again.

I am trying to get them all dried now, before I need the screens for seeds. I think I'm going to hang any that I can. I am also now drying spinach, dandelion and other greens too to save on freezer space.

Good idea for the chives and green onions too! I might try that.

I chop and freeze spinach and that works well. I freeze it with a little water in ice cube trays. Then put into large zip loc freezer bags. We can use just as much as we need that way.

I stil have a lot of feverfew to cut yet. Man! that stuff really works well, even if it does taste awful! It's worth it! When I have a migraine, I don't really care what it tastes like if it works. I'm impressed!  I have a ton of goldenrod (oswego tea) dried and still hanging under the porch roof and some parsley yet to cut with a screen full almost dry in the spare room. The pressure is on now to get them cut. They can dry upstairs over the fall/winter, ditto for the tobacco. It's drying on the porch but will have to come in before it freezes. The stuff drying under the porch roof is protected from frost.

I love my chocolate mint! I have dried some and add a little to coffee or make choc mint tea. It's great! I need to cut and dry more before it freezes too. I plan to grind it fine and use it as a spice in muffins and so forth. I love the mint flavour!

I have enlarged my herb bed this year and added a large space for mullein and St. John's wort, two that I never seem to get a lot of naturally, so I have planted them for next year. I also added more chamomile.

Of all the herbs I grow, I value the feverfew the most. It works so well to relieve migraines! If you are getting severe migraines, you'll understand. It works! Within 10 mins, the pressure just lifts off. It's the best thing I have found, short of a triptan drug, for migraines and I've tried everything. Warning: the taste is prohibitive but you do get used to it.

I do apologize for drifting into the migraine medication discussion on the gardening forum. I am just so dumbfounded this year by how well it works. After all these years of suffering with migraines, I had relief right outside in the flower bed!

Anyway, all this to say, grow feverfew for migraines. It works!

Let's keep to the subject of herbs :-)

It's also a great cut flower. I have the double flowers, tiny white ones, and add them to cut flowers arrangements. They look great and last longer than the other flowers. They last a really long time and I usually just toss them while they still look good, just to start with fresh ones. They don't smell good, however.

It's my favourite herb and I have a lot of it. It reseeds everywhere!

Young nettles are great in a salad, and nettles also make a great beer.
