Drying herbs

Okay, so I know nothing about this, but I am giving it a go and so far so good! :) I harvested some thyme from the garden, rinsed it well (this step probably not necessary for most but with this clay soil, I had to wash off the soil residue), then shook it out and hung it upside down in a very dry place where it gets indirect sun. I've now bottled the thyme and managed to get out a 3/4 full spice jar! Now I have done the same with some orageno and will soon be stripping the dried orageno off the stems and bottling!
