I live in the Okanagan and grow just about all these. some don't last the winter though so you have to replant in the spring
Reply:absolutely.


Depending on exactly where you are you may find that some have to be replanted every year eg basil, rosemary, calendula,parsley while others are perennial ( plant once) eg thyme, oregano,





the reasons for having to be replanted vary from it getting to cold for the plant to survive ( eg rosemary ) or that the plant is a biannual ( eg parsley)

Have fun in the garden
Reply:Bay and rosemary need to be brought in for the winter. Dill is an annual, parsley benefits from being planted annually although it last through the winter.
Reply:yes
Reply:you didn't say which way you live from Vancouver. If its east you more than likely are zone 3/4, if you live north you may still be in zone 5. Have enjoyed your Buchard and Minter gardens, they are beautiful
