My chives from last year, in my back-balcony herb box that I left
out all winter, are alive again. Nothing else is, but the chives
are sending up little bright green shoots. It's amazing how green
green is, after there hasn't been any for a long time.
I'm not planting any basil out yet because we're still getting
below freezing some nights.
Incidentally, rather than drying them, last autumn I stuffed all
the basil and all the thyme into separate bottles when it started
to get to the end of outside-growing time, and then filled the
bottles with olive oil, and have been happily using them as
flavoured oil all winter.
