I grow a lot of herbs. One, because I love them, two, because I want to grow all that I use so I know they are grown organically. I have lavender, thyme, oregano, rosemary, sage, peppermint, chocolate mint, parsley, lemon balm, chives, elecampane and lovage. I'm sure I missed a few. My favourite is thyme. I cut it fresh and add it to my scrambled eggs. I even dry enough to get me through the three months I can't cut it fresh.
Very interesting information! I’m in Texas zone 8a so different from you temperatures. 😁 I’m new at growing herbs and this has been very helpful to know which ones will grow together under the same conditions. I have mostly the same ones as you except mints or tarragon. I planted parsley, dill and fennel specifically for the butterfly caterpillars but haven’t had the same luck with them as last year. We had an unusually hard winter snd summer so it’s been a struggle getting plants back on track this spring. Thanks for the video. I’ll definitely check out more of yours.
Thanks for the lovely words! Yes that is definitely a warmer climate than here, parsley and dill will not survive our winter and we had -40 this past year.
I recently found a cold hardy rosemary that said it was good to zone 6. I'm real excited to see how it does, but I'll still probably take some cuttings indoors over winter to next spring, just in case.
What is the rosemary name? The only rosemary I find where I live says rosemary, only. I live in zone 6 in NE Oklahoma. I would really appreciate the name and maybe if you ordered it, from where did you order it. Thank you! I do have a great recipe for sage, sage chips. They are delicious! I use olive oil, enough to cover the bottom of your skillet, on low heat. I add butter, use as much as you like or omit. Pick big leaves, wash and remove the stems because they get a little tough. The way i was shown was to let the leaves wilt for bit, but she didn’t really know why, probably due to the water content but I don’t wilt them. I do remove the rise water between paper towels. Then place them in the oil be sure not to stack them on top of each other. They will sizzle at first, leave them a minute or two, turn them over and cook for another few minutes. Remove them to a paper towel or I just place them on a plate because the oil is delicious. I sprinkle Greek seasoning on them and you can even grate a little Parmesan cheese. So good! My grandkids love them. I am now taking cuttings from my sage to grow more plants to keep up with the demand for these chips. I really like them to munch on but I use them on my salad also. Give them a try!
I just started growing a couple of herbs this year so this is interesting information. I’m in Ohio 6a but without a greenhouse so I’m wondering how or whether chives and tarragon Fare over the winter and whether I should cut them back to the ground after the first frost. Will they survive the cold and snow without any special treatment?
It might. Your first frost date is more important that the zone. Also the growing conditions and date of first bloom, and the big one is weather! It’s certainly possible.
Very informative! Best!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much!
I’m a zone 5/6 and Arp rosemary will overwinter here in Utah!
That’s great to know, I’ll have to look out for that variety. Thanks!

That’s awesome. I had thyme in my unheated greenhouse this year and I was able to use it (in small quantities) all winter long!
@@NicolesGardenNS I plan to do that in the future. Whether I'm eating thyme or smelling it, it's my favourite herb.
We have a nice patch of Egyptian walking onions 🌰, they seem to get a lot of attention when I have visitors in my garden
I just got some from a friend, still looking for a good place to plant them.

@@debbiegarrett2035 sorry I didnt reply right away, I just found the tag. It was an ARP rosemary perennial to zone 5-9.
@@annebird9195 Thank you
Thanks Anne! I’ll keep an eye out for it, I haven’t seen that variety around here.
Cheers!

Oh yes, those will survive no problem. You can cut them before you get a frost and use or dry them. They need no special protection at all.
Que buen trabajo
Gracias, thank you for watching
Will my Munstead Lavender rebloom this summer if I cut it back? Bonny zone 5b
