	<h1>How to Dry Herbs</h1>


<div id="intro">

	<p>Julie Chai, associate garden editor of <a target="blank" href="http://www.sunset.com/"><i>Sunset</i> magazine</a>, demonstrates how to dry herbs that you&#8217;ve grown in your garden. Wash and dry them, then hang them upside down. Once they&#8217;re completely dry, you can crumble them into a jar. They are then ready to use. And here&#8217;s a great article from <i>Sunset</i> about which herbs are best to grow <a target="blank" href="http://www.sunset.com/garden/flowers-plants/nine-indispensable-herbs-00400000011943/">for cooking</a>.</p>
