Re: Oregano

Harvest the oregano just before they are in full flower in the summer or
early autumn.  Cut the long stems with any flower-heads and hang them in
bunches in a cool, airy place.  The leaves tend to fall off as they dry
so put them in a net.  When they are crisp dry, run your fingers down
the stems.  You can store them in airtight containers, chop them up
finely and freeze them in a little water in ice cube trays.  You can
also wrap them in foil and freeze them.
