Freezing herbs is the best way to preserve them. It's easier than drying and they taste better too. Harvest your herbs in the morning, wash and dry well, then put in a plastic bag and freeze. Simply pull out what you need. They don't take up much space either. How easy is that?

I grow my own catnip ... it's soooo cheap and easy! Just make sure you plant it away from anything else because it will take over. To dry fresh catnip, hang upside down in a dry, ventilated area, away from the sun. I store it in a Mason jar. Then if your kitties get stuck in the house on a snow day .... they can go crazier!
