I’ve asked five blog contributors to share their favorite herb-related gift ideas. HSA’s blog will be running one per day during the first week of December. – Paris Wolfe, Blogmaster
Drying my herbal harvest often takes over my home. No more eating on the dining room table because baskets of herbs are gathered en masse; guest beds hold large, drying baskets.
A few months ago on a leisurely day I settled in to check out my Instagram account and as I scrolled, up popped a photo of a hanging black mesh, tiered, cylinder herb-drying rack filled with a herbal harvest. The source was not given but from that moment on I was hooked on finding my own drying rack.
I googled Amazon and to my delight up popped many choices of mesh drying racks.
I researched each choice for my needs and decided on a four-tiered model with zipper closures. A week later my holy basil and passion vine blossoms had a perfect place to dry and my dining table and guest beds were swept free of drying baskets.
I hung my cylinder drying rack in an out-of-the-way corner in an entry porch room that usually stays cooler year around; perfect place to dry my herbs and a great place to check on them as I come and go about my day.
I’ve gifted myself and my herb gardening friend for her birthday; we both are smitten. I can’t think of a better holiday gift to give an herb gardener, wish I had been introduced to this nifty drying rack 20 years ago perhaps my husband would have welcomed my herbal harvest!
