About
About Simple Harbor Way
Simple Harbor Way is an informational reference about preserving garden herbs at home. It documents three practical stages — air-drying, storing and labeling — for gardeners working in a temperate Canadian climate.
What this site is
The content here grew out of seasonal notes kept while drying herbs from a backyard garden in Ontario. Each article gathers methods that need little more than string, paper bags, mesh screens and clean glass jars, written so a first-time herb dryer can follow them without specialised equipment.
How the content is checked
Methods are described in plain terms and cross-referenced against publicly available material from recognised food-preservation and food-safety bodies, including the National Center for Home Food Preservation, university extension services, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Where exact figures vary with conditions, the text uses ranges and describes what to look for rather than stating a single number as fact.
What this site is not
This is general reference reading, not professional food-safety, medical or nutritional advice. Home conditions differ, and anyone preserving food for health-sensitive situations should consult the official sources linked in each article.
