I hope more interest will result as well, Tee!
I dry my herbs, but it's pretty easy for me because outide is pretty much like an oven. I can hang in the garage, attic (that may work for you, Lee Anne), or outside even when there is no rain. I also use the dehydrator in a pinch.
This year, I harvested so much to sell at the market, then just kept pinching off flowers from about June till now. I'm harvesting huge basil plants now, and will get a smaller harvest again before frost. This isn't the ideal way for those basil aficionados who prefer only the tenderest of leaves, but the basil still has very good flavor, and (despite rumors), I can't co it all- so this worked out well.
