Overwintering herbs?

[cardiffsteve]

I have 2 18" long terracotta pots with some nice herbs in, including parsley and chives.
I have a small blowaway 4foot x 2foot where i grew my tomatoes.
Can i put herbs in there? will they survive and will I need to water?

I leave mine out mate, should be fine

[Incy]

I don't grow parsley but chives are fine left out. I'd be more concerned about the pots cracking if they get frozen.

[cardiffsteve]

Will they come back next year even if it snows or really frosty?
I know there are no guarantees

[rustylady]

Chives will definitely come back,they are perennial. Parsley is biennial, so will go to seed next year

I've got a pot of chives that's been sat out on the patio for about 3 years now (really must split it in the spring!) and coped very well under the snow the last two winters.

I'll just leave them in a sheltered position
