Wow! great tips, esp. the pesto! Definitely gonna try that! Master gardener in community garden also had a tip for drying thyme. Put it in a paper bag with small holes punched in it for air circulation. On a sunny day, place the bag on car windshield, fastened in place by windshield wiper. This should dry the leaves so they can easily be removed from stems by running your hand along the stems. The leaves are now ready to be stored in an air tight container. I haven't tried this yet.
