I love cooking with fresh herbs, I started about 6 or 7 years ago. Each year I've added something else to the garden. The thing is that each year I let them go and just buy the fresh herbs to cook with, which is such a waste.
From googling a bit, I've found that oregano, chives, thyme and rosemary are perennial. I already knew about the chives, because they just keep coming back each year. The thing is, do you just dig some up and pot them to use over the winter, or do they just kind of die off like perennial flowers? I have a nice big kitchen window, but it only gets afternoon sunlight, would that be enough to sustain them if they don't die off? I truly appreciate any advice, thanks!
