Herbs Gone Wild

It is so very warm in the State of South Carolina...almost too warm to be out, and certainly too warm to be tending the herb gardens. But, keep an eye on your sweet basil and mint. It will go to seed as you sleep...thus, robbing you of your fall harvest. Just pinch off the developing heads regularly to ensure you have a great fall harvest. When the frost threatens, just clip it and place it in freezer bags or dry it on your rack. It will be enjoyed well into the winter months if you mind it now.
