I've tried to grow herbs before in my kitchen window, but they didn't do so well. This year I bought a bunch good size plants and put them outside. So far they are doing really well, and growing by leaps and bounds. I really don't know how to use them, so any help is appreciated. So far I have chives, 2 different kinds of parsley, lavender, spearmint, sage, oregano, and thyme. I want to add more, so any recommendations on others I can buy would be appreciated. I'm in NW Oregon about a hour from the coast.

Also, can I leave them outside over winter, or should I bring them in? I've used some parsley and chives, but don't know how to preserve them to use later.

Thanks,
Deb

I have most of the herbs in a raised bed, except the spearmint and lavender I put in a old black weber bbq, that I never use. I believe I have the fine chives, because they taste like green onions, not garlic, if taste is any indicater, lol. I tried a pinch of spearmint, but it was more bitter than breath freshness, does the taste change as it matures?

Ok, I have basil on my list to buy! Keep all the help coming, I really appreciate this!
