Drying Mint

Today's plans, besides general tidy up of patio area and some weeding (must be done today because it is supposed to rain for a couple of days midweek), are harvesting and drying mint.

Supplies needed (I don't have anything fancy and my house is in such a state of cluttery chaos, just gathering these things might be problematic!):


  • scissors or clippers to clip the mint
  • a paper bag with holes punched in it to dry the sprigs of mint in
  • something to bind the sprigs together - like a twisty tie or rubber band (all my rubber bands have mysteriously disappeared though, even though we had a dozen of them wrapped around the knob over the sink just a few days ago.  What happened?  Who took them?)
  • A dry, warm place to hang them.  The study is pretty warm and dry, maybe I can hang from the bakers rack that is in there?
We'll see what we accomplish today!
