RE: The Garden - Part 1: Flowers & Herbs All Around

in #homesteading6 years ago

Thanks, @porters.

The rosemary bushes look awesome all year round. I never take them inside.
Sage, thyme, lemon balm, mint, oregano, lavender and curry die during winter, but they return in spring. To be honest, I actually don't have a clue whether that's because they are perennials, or just because I let them come into flower and the seeds spread, lol.
(Still so many things to lean)

The only one I may take inside for winter is the lemon verbena. But so far, no luck.
I've never succeeded in helping it survive.
I'm terrible when it comes to keeping indoor plants alive.

Sort:  

I think most of those herbs you mentioned are perrenials but I garden in a zone 2 garden so they don't survive here except the regular mint (fancy varieties will not) and regular thyme.
I use to have trouble over wintering plants until I invested in a grow light to get them through.
