Growing plants in the Rockies Greenhouse gardening at 8500ft

We find in stores like Trader Joes and Wholefoods they sell frozen herbs, this is simple and east enough to do yourself with your home grown herbs.

All you need is a couple of things to do this yourself:

1. Herbs
2. Ice cube trays
3. Water
4. Sharp knife
5. Zip lock bags
6. Permanent marker pen

First harvest the herbs, here we have Cilantro, Basil and Oregano

Now you have the herbs, cut them finely

Now place them into the ice cube trays, about half a ice cube with the herb in question will do

Now add cold water (preferably bottled water, or water that has been boiled and cooled, unless you have a mountain stream like we do providing your own mineral water!)

Now freeze the trays, and tomorrow take them out and place in marked ziplocked bags. Presto you have fresh herbs for cooking for at least the next 6 mths!

To use them in cooking simply place into the dish and allow them to defrost and cook into the dish, or course you can defrost them and strain the water out, but thats too much hassle!
