Hello! My name is Bethany and I grow things in my rooftop container garden in Chicago. In this video, I’ll go over my plan to overwinter herbs indoors.

Annual Herbs:
Basil
Cilantro
Coriander
Dill
Parsley – technically biennial but treated as an annual for the best flavor

Perennial Herbs:
Oregano
Mint
Thyme
Chives
Lavender
Rosemary
Sage – If you live in planting zones 5 – 8, your sage will be a perennial. If you’re in zones 9 and further south, your sage will likely be an annual.

  1. Great information on herbs! So glad to know that I can save my Rosemary as it has gotten huge this past season. Thank you. Love your videos!

  2. Shorts are so annoying. I can't disable them. I'm sorry I will unsubscribe. Too bad I liked the channel.

  3. Thanks for sharing those tips, I might have missed something, but do you use fertilizer for your plants, and if yes which ones do you use?
    Thanks in advance!

  4. What variety of lavender are you growing? I am in zone 6b(I think) and had good success growing English Lavender in a pot left outside in the Winter. I moved last year and brought it inside where it did not survive the Winter.

  5. Thanks for the video, this is just what I was looking for. My tyme plant was in the ground and I moved it to a pot to bring inside. Is it necessary to bring inside or will it survive our Ontario winter outside?
