3. Here in Florida I can't dry them outside - they would just get moldy

And I don't have a good place to dry them inside - no where to hang from the very high ceilings. I thought about setting up my baking racks and laying the herbs out on them, but the cats would mess with them, probably. I suspect one of the little dehydrators would be just right. That would dry them quicker and keep the cats out.

I'm too old to garden, really, but we hired a guy to do most of the planting and I found a small company that is coming in once a month to weed. Since we had to get the beds around the house planted after remodeling, it seemed a good opportunity to have a "kitchen" garden with herbs and the rest is planted with mostly native plants to attract birds, butterflies, and bees. Plus the flowers look great and cheer me up when I am frustrated with life. And I get to see the creatures that also love them.
