The best time to pick herbs for drying is June/July before they flower.
Pick them on a dry day, early morning, when the dew has disappeared and before the sun dispels the volatile oils.
Pick off the dead and damaged leaves.
Rinse if they look dusty.
Various ways to dry them.
I tie them in bunches and hang upside down in a cool room.
After that its up to you, store them, cook with them, use instead of cut flowers, scent your rooms/pillows.............
