I have grown basil (purple and green), sage, oregano and thyme. The question is what should I do with these over autumn and winter, will they survive outside?

All except the basil will survive outside. -
I keep basil inside in Winter - it may still wither away, but picking some shoots and standing them in water will give you roots and new plants in a week or three - this is a tip I learned on this site from Flummery and it's worked a dream.
I leave the others (sage, oregano, thyme) outside, they do fine.My hopes are not always realized but I always hope (Ovid)

Hi, I read somewhere you should cut them right back - is this right? I've got very big mint, taragon, sage and rosemary plants - and we get a lot of snow!

Thanks for your answers, I spent the weekend tidying my garden up and one of the jobs was to pot the various herbs up and put the basil in an indoor pot.Comment

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
