March 20 - October 2016
This spring, we decided we'd try out growing our own herbs. Ryan and Jared worked together to get them all planted.
It was still a bit cold out, so we were excited to be able to use a new green house we had recently been given.
The green house worked pretty well for growing the herbs until the weather was better and they were strong enough to go outside. Not all the plants made it, but we were happy with the ones that did. We were able to get some dill, oregano, basil, and sage.

After about three months we took our first harvest and got try out our dehydrator for the first time. We dehydrated those four herbs and also a bunch of green onion from outside.
Our first harvest we wanted to give as a gift, so I put together some baby food jars with a fabric top to make them look a little cuter.
I was able to do a second harvest for our own cupboard about a month later. In the mean time it's been really nice to be able to clip fresh herbs to cook with and see what a difference there is in the flavor!
