I am a rookie in gardening and I am wondering which herbs and veggie can and cannot be frozen.

For instance : Lima beans, Oregano, Basil, fennel, Thyme, Parsley, Chives, Bell Pepper?

I know that tomatoes ands cucumbers have too much water inside to be frozen.

Thanx!

Take a stroll through the frozen foods section of your supermarket and you'll see that almost any veggies can be frozen. Leafy plants might be best if frozen in some water so they won't dehydrate too much. This is 'freezer burn' and is the enemy of flavor. So fast freezing is good, too, and keep the freezer setting low.

As far as the herbs go Mozart, Here is a link that describes very well how best to cultivate and preserve your herbs after they can no longer be used fresh off the plant Smile
