Good reading

I put the whole herb (stem and all) into a paper bag in the refrigerator. This dries them out nicely and any leaves that fall stay in the bag.

The only garden item food that is limited in my city and especially my garden is Basil.
To prolong the fresh taste I freeze homemade red sauce with basil in measured containers and use them up before the risk of freezer burn sets in. I also use the ice cube tray basil+water puree method.
Just about everything else is at most food & farmers markets and can readily be bought and stored.
