    Thanks John. With what I have already done, I have more then enough to see me through winter...Thats what its all about.
    And theres three more smaller plants to harvest as well.
    They are one of my success stories this year. Not like some veggies I could mention

    Interesting that you smash 'em up. last year I dried mine whole, and then crumbled them when ready to use - thinking that I might be keeping more flavour "in".

    But, as I'm sure you remember, they kinda re-hydrated during the winter and needed to be re-dried a couple of times.
