If your herbs are damp, be sure to gently blot them dry with a towel to remove as much moisture as you can. Place the herbs on the dehydrator trays in a single layer. Small leaves can remain on the stems, but removing larger leaves from thick stems will shorten the drying time.
The leaves may simply be dehydrated or the plant may be dead almost to the ground. Scrape the bark of a few stems to determine the extent of damage. If the stem is green, delay pruning until after new growth begins. Additional information on winter hardiness of specific herbs can be found in Table 1. Table 1. Hardiness and winter care of select herbs.
