Did an herb garden this year, and the lemon balm, basil, and sage really took off.

The sage is a tender perennial (pineapple) and the basil is just getting pulled since it’s an annual.

I may just cut back the sage to see if it will come up again.

But overall, I plan to cut them, hang them, dry them.

But what is the best way to store these herbs for about a years use or so until I can grow more?

Also, will factors such as heat and light affect the herbs?

I was thinking about storing them outside in a shed. But the temp still gets around 100 degrees.

If the herbs are dried and in storage, will a couple days or a week of 100 degree weather cause them to degrade or deteriorate slowly?

I just got a bearded dragon yesterday, he turned 1 in the spring. The previous owner was freaked out by the crickets and the worms so she only fed him the dragon food. He eats the bugs like he’s starving at every feeding and I worry about over feeding or impacting him. I know that it will take him some time to become acclimated to his new home; but I am worried about over feeding. He has eaten almost 2 dozen crickets in less than 12 hours and about 6 meal worms. Poor thing is skinny in comparison with the pics I’ve seen on the net of other year old dragons. Am I feeding him too much and are herbs from my herb garden, basil, thyme, sage, chives acceptable for leafy greens for him? i am also feeding him the dragon food, though he doesn’t seem to have an interest in it at all. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!! I really want him to be a healthy happy dragon!!

I hear of smoking hop, tea leaves and sage to get high but what garden stuff can I smock+in ireland

Chamomile, White Tea, Green Tea, Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Sage, Sleepytime, peppermint, Irish and etc.
Can you figure out my favorites???

So mainly my questions are which are which and some recommendations for herbs to plant in each. I already have Chives and Lemon Balm planted somewhere else and I’m not planning on putting them in my new garden area.

Perennials (I think) that I have:

rosemary cuttings and sage that I just got from my neighbor, then some catnip which will probably go in a pot because I don’t want it taking over. I also want to get some lavender. There will most likely still be space so I’m looking for other recommendations! Preferably some with a lot of uses, perhaps both culinary and medicinal– I’m interested in both.

Annuals:

A lot… Too many, probably. I have parsley (I know it’s a biennial but I’ll be growing it as an annual) sweet basil, cilantro, dill, chamomile, and echinacea. I think those are all annuals, correct me if I’m wrong. Other than those, any recommendations for others? Like I said, both medicinal and culinary are fine

I’m also wondering which if any, can be grown in pots because I may just do that with the annuals instead of have an extra herb garden for them.
