Yeah but it was Oregeno and Parsley from my garden. LOL Now if i had said that 40 years ago ......
Dried it in the oven and it worked really well. Much quicker than hanging it on the wall.

I've been drying herbs for a month or so. I hang most for a couple of weeks, then finish off with a 30 minute round at 200 degrees in the oven.
If it's very humid, I use the dehydrator, since high humidity can lead to molding if your air circulation is limited.
Most herbs fare better if stored 'whole', and crumbled or crushed immediately before use.

Air circulation is vital.
I have several ways I 'hang' my herbs, but not technically up against the wall. I try for a 'clothesline' base, ie string a string between to points, and either clothespin the herbs in place, or wrap the string through the base leaves.
I also have a rig-up of two half window screens, held horizontal in a slotted wooden frame (that comes apart for storage) that works when I don't want or have the room to string the herbs up.output.jpg
