Herbs for drying should be gathered in the late morning on a fine day after the dew has dried from the plants. Some herbs should be dried on trays in a warm shady place such as a linen closet, others should be hung in bunches in a dark place where it is dry, warm and airy. If you want to keep the seeds, hang the bunch head down in a paper bag.
Herbs Dried on Trays:
Bay
Basil
Camomile
Parsley (dry quickly in an oven on low)
marjoram
Rosemary
Herbs Dried in Bunches:

Tarragon
Thyme
Herbs Difficult to Dry:

These should be dried in a dehydrator for best results.
