National Herb Week!

It's National Herb Week! Apparently I was celebrating and didn't even know it... On Sunday my family and I got some new herbs and planted them in our garden.

New to the collection: Oregano, thyme, basil, and parsley!
Herbs we already had include: Sage, rosemary and chives.

My husband planted the herbs in our garden, and even planted a few smaller portions of the plants in a container for us to keep in the kitchen.

Next task! Learn how to use all the herbs we have, and make sure they don't go to waste.  We could shared 'em, but we should also think of some ways to preserve them for times a recipe calls for the herbs and we don't have fresh ones on hand.

Now the research begins for some new ideas.  Do you preserve your herbs?  Or have ways to use large amounts of them so they don't go to waste?  Or do you crop share with other people?
