The top 10 herbs/plants to plant and enjoy in the
cooler months—starting now!
- Chervil - oblivious to cold, mellow and succulent
- Red giant mustard - intense purple, nice mustardy bite
- Italian parsley - roots grow all winter and big new foliage
explodes in spring
- Sage - frost sweetens and intensifies flavor
- Rosemary - simply perfect evergreen
- Cilantro - turns a little bronzy, but incredible flavor
- Thyme - most beautiful with ice-frosted edges in the early
morning
- Sorrel - tiny tart lemony leaves waiting to burst forth
with the first
few warm days
- Violas - because edible flowers count as herbs and these
laugh at ice
- Nasturtiums - ditto (except protect these dainty delights from
frost)
