I can dig them up later, and plant in more individual pots. I'm not planting them outside, as we have zero room in the gardens this year (and they would need brought in for winter too).
I'm excited to see how this all goes for us.
A "first time" this year as well, is making lemon balm tincture. I make a few tinctures over summer months (you need fresh herbs vs. dried) for a powerful tincture. I may have, maybe one more "new first" using lemon balm this year. More on that later if it transpires.
Over the years we have experimented with several tinctures, and narrowed our making down to to ones we actually find useful. Sage tincture comes in very handy for a sore throat, if you are home alone or very sick and do not have the energy to make sage tea (or other tea).
I love making oregano infused oil for several uses, but I'm wondering if oregano tincture would be useful? I don't know anyone who even makes tinctures. I will need to do more research on if it's worth it. Until then, I will keep dehydrating it for culinary uses.
