Wintering on the windowsill

Our green fingered herby gardener, Angela, has some great advice for keeping fresh herbs to hand through the winter.

She says:

‘You need not miss out on fresh herbs in the cold days ahead.’

  • If you’re quick and beat the frost you can divide off some of the herbs in your garden and repot.
  • Try this with herbs like chives and oregano. Place in a sunny windowsill and water, but do not overwater.
  • Also, have a go at planting seeds of basil and parsley in a pot.

I’m going to try dividing off some lemon thyme, which I haven’t tried before. I’ll let you know how I get on!
