I had a spur of the moment turn today an re-potted all my herbs that were growing with eachother in tubs on my patio. I decidet to pot them into bigger individual pots.... now into the greenhouse to settle down and get some new roots going before winter...  Last year I had a them in a few smaller pots in my porch for winter and they went all dormant and in Spring I re-pooted up - they all grew well this summer. I have done the Rosemary, Thyme, Sage and Marjorum. Hope they all survive..

Was I daft?? Will they normally survive being out over winter?

All my hardy herbs were left outside last winter in a sheltered spot and they all survived, I have them upagainst the side of the house so that they do not get overwet with all the winter rains.

I usually find that cold winds are more damaging than low temperatures (my rosemary and bay tree are both partially sheltered but suffered some scorch last winter, although both recovered well; the others were fine, albeit a bit bedraggled!)

Waterlogging is also bad news, but that shouldn't happen in pots.
