The Herb Garden
Autumn
Continue to plant out herbs whilst weather conditions permit. Sow annual and biennial seed in early autumn.
Harvest roots and seedheads as appropriate and cut back dead foliage of herbaceous perennials. However, in cold areas, this foliage should be left to provide the plant with some protection against frost and wind. Protect tender herbs and those in containers. Lift, divide and pot up mature plants for winter use indoors.
