October is hot and dry in the southern subtropics. The herbs and vegetables grow rapidly and are ready to harvest for natural shade drying. Drying takes approximately two weeks, depending on the wind and the size of the herb bunches or vegetable pieces. We grow lots of common garden herbs in pots throughout the year. #LivingInHarmonyWithNature
The dry summer provides an opportunity to naturally preserve herbs and vegetables, which will remain viable for the next two years, depending on storage conditions.
