Last year, I watched a video about how to overwinter perennial herbs in a cold climate like mine (Toronto).
I took the container of oregano, buried it to its rim in the ground close to the house, and covered it with an evergreen branch.
We had a cold, snowy winter (for Toronto). The container of oregano had over four feet of snow on top of it at one point.
But that gardening expert was right!
The oregano regrew in the Spring. I dug the container out and moved it back to its spot in the backyard garden. And it provided us with oregano all summer.
This year, I’m using the same technique with the sage and the mint, as well as the oregano again.
If this works…again, we will have these herbs forever.
This makes me so very happy.
