Top 4 Perennial Herbs - Garden Quickie Episode 96

Herbs Are Amazing Plants To Grow For All Skill Levels. Relatively easy, fast-growing, and highly productive. Everyone loves Basil and Sage and Cilantro, but those plants have a time limit, and once they flower or winter hits, whichever is first, that's it.

Enter Perennial Herbs. These plants are built to last, coming back year-after-year, even after hard winters! Instead of just a few harvests, albeit tasty, perennial herbs are the gift that keeps on giving. Today, I got my top 4 choices to share with you. Its a Quickie, so if you blink, you'll miss it! :-)

Growing herbs at home is such a grocery budget extender. “Fresh” herbs from the grocery store are expensive and almost always in bad shape, or only last a day after buying them. Your video reminds me I need to start another round of herbs in the trusty Aerogarden. Thanks for the reminder!

My rosemary is huge and is many years old. It smells just beautiful as you brush by it. My oregano is a weed, coming up all over the yard. And it is hardy!!! Chives I have too but rarely use them. Don't know why. And, my thyme is just beautiful and at least 3 or 4 years old. The bees love it and it doesn't mind the snow or rain here in the Pacific NW. I encourage everyone to try these. Thanks for the reminder.

I was gifted rosemary last year. I haven’t done anything to encourage it and I call it the bush that keeps giving! I’ve a got lifetime supply of dried herb and there is always fresh…not to mention all the cuttings I’ve propagated and gifted. My chives and green onions on the other hand now have some additional life ahead of them with many thanks to you! Very grateful for all the knowledge you share 😄

[holisticheritagehomestead]

Great video! Very informative. I don’t think I ever thought about growing from cuttings. I will try that. Thank you. Be well.

I wasn’t aware that rosemary could survive our Canadian winters! I will definitely leave it in the ground under a thick layer of mulch. 😊

We planted herbs first, the tomatoes! Now much, much more!!

[billbalchnbob]

Thank you Jeff ! I’m going to give lots of thought for location when I transplant ( my perennial herbs ) the next go around… lol

[nobullziggster]

I am so happy to learn about Rosemary/ I planted some n was wondering about that. I use it on my hair and scalp after a shower.
I am sure there are many other uses for it. It's a very healthy plant. My first Herb per say. I've procured a packet of assorted herbs to start this winter for spring planting.
It's going to be a whole new learning experience for me...

[OakKnobFarm]

Great picks Jeff! I also grow Chinese leek (garlic chives), sage, and lavender as perennials, too

[yukonsmomma]

Hey Jeff, as usual, thanks for all the great advice! I've got to get some of these perennial herb growing in my garden.

[shazils]

Love your videos Jeff. Thank you for sharing with us much love from Vancouver

[ImmaculateOmadi]

I am imprest by the two minutes great information.

[eileenbartnick]

Well, I guess 2 out of 4 is ok. Only thyme and chives winter over for me. Sure wish rosemary did, it's such a beautiful plant. I got one old seed to germinate this year and plan to bring inside for the winter, as well as an oregano plant I seeded. So I will have a head start on them for next year!! Happy gardening and have a wonderful day!!

I grow tomatoes and basil so I just buy mozzarella cheese and some glaze and I make a lot of Caprese on a regular basis. I also made my first couple batches of pickles from homegrown cucumbers and they are just like my grandma's from when I was a kid 😁

[PolishEddie]

It is truly fascinating. Throw a couple of trimmings of oregano or mint in water and they start growing tentacle Roots like an alien 🤯
I actually just trimmed my mint 2 days ago and threw it in a jar of water to grow some more in different pots.

Really love the 2 minute format, although I have enjoyed your longer vids as well. I'm in the States, but rosemary can't take our winters :(

[rlbgardener]

Hi Jeff, love your videos watch them all, thanks for the great info. But, I have a question. I have oregano, chives, basil and rosemary want too bring them in for the winter here in zone 6b the U S, what is the best way to prepare them for bringing them in the house?

[Aprilshowers]

Great information thank you 💙💙💖💖💙💙💖💖💙💙💖💖💙💙💖

[philbartoli]

2 out of four this year need to add thyme and oregano

[juliaarmato]

Just wondering. What do thyme and rosemary taste good in? I don't commonly use these. Thanks
