Excellent article! I have been babying my herbs all winter. Some have even doubled in size during this time. My herb garden does’t look real pretty right now, but it does protect my herbs. I definitely have an overabundance of herbs. I have dried them and frozen them, but I really like the idea of salting them and then having both herbs and herbal salt. Thanks for the info.

Sounds like you love herbs as much as I do. Come Spring when you can clean up your herb garden it should bounce right back. Herb salts are so much fun to use in recipes.
