With the ground about to freeze, I’d wait until Spring. It’s a good idea to give plants 4-6 weeks to get their roots into the surrounding soil before going dormant for the winter.
@@NicolesGardenNS Oh okay. I put plum trees in two months ago and garlic in a few weeks ago. I guess I'll have to wait until spring to plant more. Thanks!
Liked and Subbed! Excellent video and information. I'm in zone 7-8, North Central Arizona. We can have very cold snowy Winters. And very hot dry summers. I have many of those Perennial Herbs. You didn't mention Rosemary. Maybe zone 6 is to cold. But my Winters can be 10 degrees through much of our Winter nights. Though not usually that cold. Still, my Rosemary bushes live through it all. I'm missing the French Terragon and the Winter Savory. So those will be on my list for this Spring. Thanks a lot!
That’s true, we can’t really overwinter rosemary here. They are always coming out with hardier varieties though, so I keep trying. I believe this video is almost 2 yrs old now so I should definitely do an updated version!
@@NicolesGardenNSI'm in Toronto and have to replace rosemary each year. I'm now cutting back some of my sage to dry. Love herb gardening, and happy to find someone in same zone 6 👋🏻
Perennial herbs planted in the ground stay in the ground. They don’t need cover, they are perfectly fine. Rosemary doesn’t overwinter in our climate but I can protect it in the greenhouse and it does ok. It depends on your zone, and whether you grow in ground or pots.
Hello from NH! Excellent video. All my herbs are in large pots. I was going to put them in burlap bags with mulch around the roots. Do i need to do that or just leave as is? Thanks!
Thanks Nicole! I'm on the seacoast so I'm thinking we may be comparable to you. Only a few hours away. So I'll leave them in protected areas. Let's hope it's another mild one. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
I didn't realize tarragon was a perennial! I definitely need some of this in my herb collection asap. And winter savory. Great information 👍 👍
It is! Hardy to zone 3, I think.
So cool! I'm in Zone 6 also, and getting into gardening. Can I plant any of these things now, or do I need to wait until spring?

Hi! I’m in Falmouth (near Windsor). Not far at all 😊
Loving the Chocolate Mint I picked up from you, It's growing so well. I did pop back in and grabbed one for my Mom.
That’s great to hear! I find it makes the BEST mint tea 😊

Great video. I have a greenhouse and live in Chicago climate. What do you do with your herbs during the winter? Do they go in your greenhouse?

PS. We are not getting the very snowy winters, but you never know...
The snow is actually helpful, because it insulates well against large swings in temperatures. It also depends on how cold your winters get.
