General Herb Question

[Caz1234]

Hi,

Were new to veg growing but have grown some herbs this year from seed in the greenhouse.

We have one pot of basil, one of corriander and one parsley.

Should I now plant these outside - will they continue to grow? Or is this something that will die off and have to be started again from scratch next year?

Thanks in advance.

I grow all of these as annuals and the corriander and basil are tender anyway. Currently I have corriander and parsley outside but I find that basil doesn't do too well outside so mine is on the kitchen window ledge.

Coriander doesn't transplant well and tends to bolt. I get better results by sowing direct outside. I grow basil on the windowsill. The parlsey can be planted out now and will last righ through the winter.

Parsley ~ grows well outside, and self-seeds every year.
Basil ~ I just can't grow it, indoors or out.
Coriander ~ grows well outdoors, but bolts (flowers) if you transplant it. Sow it where you want it to stay.

Thanks for all your replies ! Very helpful indeed.

Will put my basil in the kitchen and plant the parsley and coriander outside with my mint and chives.

make sure you put your mint in a pot/bucket or else it will strangle everything else. Even your house.

OK will do, thanks.
