Herbs are so easy to grow here, I even have them in vases all around for air freshening.<br /><br />Thanks again for great advice!<br />MaggieNotes from Maggie's Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988466982319140284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480917655760821690.post-62395518674354269172013-03-12T23:17:47.531-05:002013-03-12T23:17:47.531-05:00I'm making major changes to my kitchen {major ...I'm making major changes to my kitchen {major for a renter, anyway} and went through my old spices in December ~ I wish I would have thought to use some for experimenting! What a great idea! <br /><br />If you do buy large containers, some ground spices will keep twice as long if frozen in an AIRTIGHT container and fresh herbs can be frozen in butter or oil. {I use an ice cube tray then transfer them to double zipper bags.} I don't know if freezing seeds helps?<br /><br />Like you, I'm now keeping my spices in alphabetical order in drawers AWAY from the stove since heat and light make them degrade faster.<br /><br />Wonderful post, Maggie!
