I'll let you know if she has. If she hasn't, she will after she learns about this!<br /><br />No, I've never trimmed the Bay Tree but plan to do it next spring. I have a split trunk and don't want it to be leggy so I'll give it a whack or two! I agree with your husband about growth being slow, but I'd like to have a more shapely bush so here's hoping I don't destroy it!LynnShttp://woodridge.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-80298854040102743082010-11-18T13:40:18.753-05:002010-11-18T13:40:18.753-05:00GrafixMuse, Thanks, I was hoping the post would be...GrafixMuse, Thanks, I was hoping the post would be helpful.

I hope that it works for you too!<br /><br />LynnS, The convection setting may be the reason. I'm not sure though, since I think that I have the first convection oven ever made...we really need a new range!!<br /><br />I was almost ready to buy a dehydrator when I had success in the oven. We really don't need any more kitchen gadgets around here!<br /><br />Have you ever trimmed your Bay Tree? Mine is getting leggy and I'm so tempted to trim it. "The Italian" said no....since they take so so long to grow.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-63665321522707091382010-11-17T05:55:46.186-05:002010-11-17T05:55:46.186-05:00Your parsley dried very well.

You are lucky to have that convection setting, perhaps the success with the green leaves has to do with that convection process? <br /><br />Nice post! My herbs were dried by hanging bunches or by the dehydrator. I have had success with basil in my dehydrator, but usually I just make Basil Pesto or Basil Butter that I freeze.<br /><br />I agree with you about the Bay Tree and am so glad to have one. My mother gave me hers to overwinter, then gave it to me and she bought another one. She can get them where she lives, but there are none here. I have to bring mine inside, too. But it's worth wintering-over!LynnShttp://woodridge.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-77622320399211376262010-11-17T03:31:28.018-05:002010-11-17T03:31:28.018-05:00Lovely post!

I always thought that drying in the oven takes hours... that is why I never tried it. But if it takes less than an hour, then it makes sense to do it that way.<br />I'm looking forward to the Part 2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-1718410528292659182010-11-17T00:49:13.171-05:002010-11-17T00:49:13.171-05:00The Mom, We don't use much pesto around here. ...The Mom, We don't use much pesto around here. So, I don't usually freeze any.<br /><br />Thanks Diana<br /><br />Mimi, I have a bay leaf tree that I purchased when it was very small. It's now over 3 feet tall. It has to be brought inside in the winter though. Keep on the look out for one when you are visiting garden centers. They don't usually have them around here.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-76429530595114701872010-11-16T21:49:52.396-05:002010-11-16T21:49:52.396-05:00These are great tips.
