Do you want to get the most value out of your homegrown perennial herbs? Dry them at home to enjoy maximum flavor all year long!

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”22px” text_line_height=”1.8em” ul_line_height=”1.4em” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

This method of hang-drying herbs works best for woody perennials like:

• lavender
• oregano
• rosemary
• thyme
• sage

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”22px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

First, trim stems from the main plant. Tie 3-5 stems together into a bundle, then hang them to dry in a cool and dark place for 2-3 weeks. 

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”22px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Once the herbs are dry and brittle, you can store them long-term and use them to add some homegrown magic to your favorite recipes!

Are you tired of sharing your tomatoes with outdoor critters? Use this hack to harvest tomatoes before the birds and squirrels!

Tomatoes continue to mature off the vine, so you can pick them before they’re fully ripe. As soon as the end begins to change color, you can begin to pick your tomatoes!

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”22px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Once picked, store your tomatoes in a dry and dark place inside to fully ripen. (This could be as simple as a cardboard box.) Remember to check your tomatoes frequently and remove ripe fruit to prevent spoilage.

What’s a Food Forest?

A food forest contains layers of plants that mimic the patterns of nature. This diversity increases sustainability and pest resistance while lowering overall maintenance and soil erosion.

In case you missed it: Backyard Eats partnered with Mordechai Schram, owner of hamutzim, to bring you a delicious lacto-fermentation recipe.

Lacto-fermentation is a centuries-old preservation method that converts natural bacteria into lactic acid, and slowly ferments food over time. Examples of lacto-fermented vegetables include pickles, sauerkraut, and kimchi.

Lacto-fermentation is a centuries-old preservation method that converts natural bacteria into lactic acid, and slowly ferments food over time. Examples of lacto-fermented vegetables include pickles, sauerkraut, and kimchi.

Looking for an activity the whole family can do together while helping encourage healthier eating habits? Gardening is a great way to bring your family together and teach important values. It allows you to bond, get outside in nature, learn teamwork and responsibility, and teach children about healthy eating.

We created this guide to give you ideas of great garden activities in which your whole family can participate. Activities such as raised garden beds and edible landscaping are fun ways to engage kids’ natural curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. So don’t forget to head outdoors and make long-lasting memories with your children using these interesting gardening projects!

Make Your Garden A Fun Experience for Your Family

With these ideas, you can make your edible backyard a learning and fun experience. Raised garden beds are an easy way to get the kids involved in gardening, as raised beds are easier for little hands to navigate than traditional in-ground gardens.

1. Planting

One of the best things families can do together in the garden is planting. This activity can teach children where food comes from and how plants grow. It is also a great way to get some exercise and fresh air. Families can plant vegetables, fruits, flowers, or herbs.

2. Harvesting

Harvesting is another great activity for families to do together in the garden. This is when crops are picked or gathered. It is a good opportunity to teach children the importance of hard work and patience. Families can also use the harvested produce for cooking meals together.

3. Cooking

Cooking is a great way to use the product that has been harvested from the garden. Your family can cook meals together and bond over the experience. This is also a good opportunity to teach your children about nutrition and healthy eating habits.

4. Garden Maintenance

Finally, gardening is an activity that requires maintenance and care. You and your family can take part in weeding, watering, trimming, and pruning the plants to keep them healthy. This is a great way for children to learn about taking care of plants and the environment.

Gardening can be a fun experience for your family that provides educational and hands-on opportunities. So go ahead and get your family outside in the garden and make some lasting memories!
