Last year I set about growing some herbs, and decided that the herbs that would be grown would be those I liked the most, so thyme, rosemary, coriander, sage (because I wanted to make stuffing) and in the end I also opted for dill as we wanted to pickle some cucumbers.

So How Did They Do?

Well I was glad to see that the freezing temperatures had not killed all of my herbs over the winter, although I admit I have had to buy a few plants as extras or replacements.

The thyme has lasted really well, but also surprisingly the sage and parsley. I did not expect the last two to survive as they seem like delicate plants, in contrast to the thyme which seems a little more ‘hardy’ – but there you have it. I think the insulation properties of the Cultivation Station really helped!
