Yeah, that's why I don't grow it in the garden. Same with chives. Both can get out of control real quick.

Once I have used up the herbs that I have grown, I buy fresh and freeze those as well. I just separate them into amounts of 2 or 3 sprigs (that is the amount most recipes call for) and freeze them in saran in those amounts. Then I put the small packages into a plastic bag that is of freezer quality and if stored for a long time, I wrap that bag in foil as well.

If you want to dry them, you have to use a dehydrator. Air drying doesn't work.
