Once they’re completely dry, you can crumble them into a jar. They are then ready to use. And here’s a great article from Sunset about which herbs are best to grow for cooking.

  • I have a small herb garden on my back patio, but never really thought about drying them. Thanks, this is a great tip!

    How long are these dried herbs good for? As long as the dried jarred herbs you find in grocery stores?
