Key Takeaways
- Harvest perennial herbs like oregano, mint, and thyme in spring when they're at their peak — before summer heat sets in
- Preserve flavor by storing dried herbs whole in jars, then grinding only when you're ready to use them
- Basil pesto freezes beautifully in silicone trays, giving you homegrown flavor all winter long
- Cilantro does best when you let it self-seed and volunteer — your fall and winter harvest will be stronger for it
- You don't have to do all of this at once — pick one herb, one method, and start there
