Here is my go-to-method to freezing fresh herbs. These keep well for a few months in the freezer and are a great alternative to drying herbs. Let me know if you try this method out at home!
Hey there!
Welcome to my channel, The Nature Patch where I like to share all things gardening, cooking and environmental science in my Australian bushland backyard.
My name is Robyn, an environmental scientist working towards completing a PhD in understanding how people's wellbeing and their connection to nature is impacted by land use change. I've always loved gardening and nature and lately have been interested in growing my own organic food!
On this channel you'll find videos relating to garden tours, 'how to' videos, composting, soil health, ecosystem services, and seed saving.
I try to upload twice a week and I hope you enjoy!!

My big ginger cat was enthralled and kept tapping the screen.😻

This would work well with mint, spinach, celery tops, basil, greens, garlic, oregano, and I keep thinking of other to do this with. Love the ease of using the cling wrap - and the tiny space it will use in my freezer. I've used the tray method for freezing garlic, ginger, lemon grass, and several other greens - love the usefulness of popping a cube into whatever soup or sauce I'm making.

This is a fantastic idea to use ice cube trays to preserve seasonings! I've used dried parsley for years. Yesterday, I harvested my first homegrown parsley. It smells so good. I didn't know how to preserve it. Now I know! I will grow more herbs. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! I'm a new container gardener in Baton Rouge, Louisiana USA. I love it!!! 😊🥰

Never grew parsley before, but it grew very well! I have quite a bit to preserve for winter soups and stews. I am in Colorado, USA. Thanks for the great video!

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks a million for the tips! I' ve been doing the same with mint and ginger but never tried doing so with parsley! Using the cubes in antioxidant pineapple-cantaloupe smoothies gives me a quick but effective detox. God bless you! All my love, Irene, Greece.

Parsley along with cilantro is an excellent way to detox the body of toxic heavy metals.... “ organic Cilantro and Parsley bind to heavy metal toxins and pull them out of the body” I had the same issue drying my parsley...so I now dry it in a dehydrator.

Very helpful video. I feel so sad over all the parsley and cilantro I let rot in my fridge when I could have just froze them! Wow. I will be freezing from now on! Great way to save money.

The idea is single use vs reusable. She doesn't like using cling film because you use it once and throw it away. Whereas you can use ice cube molds for years

G'day Robyn, great idea of freezing the parsley. What about bees wax wrap would you be able to use them instead of cling wrap? I've mostly used parsley fresh but I have dried it and used it that way also. Have a great week, stay safe and God bless you guys. 🦘👍

@thenaturepatch 3 жыл бұрын

That's a great idea Josh - I have a few of them around so next time I'll use them :) wasn't sure how they'd go in the freezer but I'm sure it would be fine. Have a great week too!
