deer (too many) and 20 degree lows. Thanks for any advice!Do you mean perennial herbs that can survive cold winters? It sometimes gets
down to -20 around here and my oregano continues to flourish. Cilantro,
chives and dill have gone wild in my garden and pop up everywhere in the
spring.Parsley has never come back after the winter, but I can sometimes go out to
the garden in late Nov and early December and it still hanging in from the
last season. I have even found nice green parsley under the snow. -

We do too, but the herbs are right next to the house on the west side,
so I think that helps to keep them warm.Long term survivors for me have been Rosemary, Mexican oregano,
Marjoram, Sage and Dittany.Cheers!

warm weather arrives, it becomes bitter and then goes to seed. -

always nicely surprised when I see new growth early in the spring. We don't
have deer here in the city, but it survives my cats.

That is a low temp...have you considered clipping and drying before
the frost? -

There is a rosemary variety 'Arp' that will withstand those temperatures.

Zone 6A here so it gets below freezing in the winter. My garden
consists of raised beds using the sfg method. The herbs I had luck with
that will overwinter - dill, lemon balm, lemon thyme, thyme, sage,
chives, parsley, rosemary, marjorum, lavender, oragano, & mints. HTH -

the rest. The hardest on the herbs is when we have an open and dry winter.
