Hey Weez' amd Darius....thanks muchly. I was thinking that I would at the very least try to overwinter stuff, just to see what happens. Was thinking about transplanting into pots and storing in the garage,...but of course, that leads to another question ! :-) If they are stored in pots in a cold, dark garage....does that mean I should not water???.....or water sparingly??? As you can tell, I don't know a thing about what to do with plants that are in a 'dormant' stage! I also have a question -- though not actually 'herb' related - about my strawberry plant I purchased this summer. It is in one of those strawberry pots with all the holes. When I purchased it, the staff at the nursery told me to just "...leave it in the pot and bring it into the garage over winter..", however, I of course didn't think about all the 'runners' I now have hanging down from it. What do I do about those? If I cut them off, won't I be killing them because they haven't 'rooted' to anything? Or, can I cut them off and 'store' them in something too? Ah...questions, questions, questions! Thanks all!
