Sad, but true, the herbal seasonings sitting in the spice racks of America are mostly dead. Once cut, sifted and/or powdered, herbs lose their potency at alarming rates.
By making your own herbal seasonings, you are guaranteed freshness and flavor. It is also a lot of fun and an excellent way to utilize the bounty of your garden.
