Drying Herbs

Your herb garden has exploded into prolific pandemonium! Some plants have bolted.  Some plants are attacking the other plants. What do you do?

• a) Take a machete and hack the s**t out of everything.  Leaving nothing but a deserted wasteland behind.
• b) Rock back and forth in a corner while weeping or mumbling something about tiger-striped, basil-scented staplers.
• c) Come up with creative ways to cook, dry and preserve those delicious herbs so that you can enjoy them throughout the winter months.

I'll leave you to your own devices if you chose "a)" or "b)".  How about we go through "c)" together?
