I that case I feel honour bound to give you a health warning on the artichokes. The are delicious... but... how do I say this politely... they give people the worst wind ever!! Yes - they get really tall, have lovely flowers... and if you happen to have guinea-pigs as pets, they adore the leaves!

Yum- you'll have your herb store well stocked for the winter. I've got some chocolate mint dried - love it! Never heard of strawberry mint though- I'm going to have to check that out. I thin mum and dad used a dehydrator for the chunkier things like the beans.

Looking forward to your next update- have fun!
