Default basic question: herbs, winter

R Braun wrote in message ...

The herbs in question are sage, parsley, chives, and thyme.
I live in Urbana, Illinois (zone 5).


almost certainly they will all survive. They will all die back except
thyme and come back in the spring. Most varieties of sage are not
hardy to Zone 5, but I trust you got the stuff that will survive
there. Thyme is useful until very late in the season, red cabbage and
carrot matchsticks with thyme vinaigrette is a november classic at my
place.
