When frost threatens it's time to gather up the last of the garden goodies and preserve them for the winter.
 |
| Parsley, chop and freeze in ice cube trays. Pop into a plastic bag when frozen and use in soups, stews and casseroles. Basil is also best preserved this way. |
 |
| Fennel, gather the seed heads in a paper bag, let them dry and them rub the seeds away from the stems and store in a cool dry place. |
 |
| Sage, just wrap the ends with a rubber band and hang to dry |
 |
| Globe amaranth, just pick them and use in crafts |
 |
| Cox combs, wrap the ends with a rubber band and hang to dry. These are beautiful in Christmas wreaths |
 |
| Just pick your late tomatoes and let them ripen on the counter |
 |
| Pine apple sage, it really loose a lot of it's fragrance when dried so I prefer freezing. Use in drinks and fruit sauces |
